Hunter's comment

This bionic arm was built and developed by FESTO.
Inspired by the design and anatomy of an elephant's trunk.

It is very powerful and delicate when holding different objects, this guarantees safety at the time of manipulation.

The Bionic Handling Assistant works in an easy, freely moving and flexible way. It is even safe if there is direct contact between man and machine.

the event of a collision, the bellows structure gives way immediately and, as a result, does not have to be carefully protected from humans as conventional industrial robots have to be. This feature resulted in the Assistant system being awarded the 2010 German Future Prize.
