Read press release
The extent to which production can learn in future from the latest projects from the Bionic Learning Network of Festo, and what special characteristics can be derived from nature, were demonstrated on the occasion of the International Press Conference at Festo’s Scharnhausen Technology Plant on 2nd and 3rd December. The questions as to whether ultra-lightweight flight objects can pave the way for new guidance and monitoring systems, and whether ...
