  • So Batman IS REAL!!!

  • ok was it just me or did she say Ackwa instead of Aqua in the beginning?

  • new angry bird

  • this lady always sounds like she's crying when she ends sentences. lol

  • Upscale to the size of a whale and make a lot of them. Pack them with explosives and deploy them in the Southern Ocean in time for the Japanese whaling season.

  • @0Endangered0 the japanese dont understand or like the way westerners treat their old people but dont advocate blowing people up. you need to get a grip & stop talking about killing people. you are the cruel, violent one.

  • if you were to suggest this to someone 10 years ago, you'd be called a kook.

  • i want this flying penguins in my home!

  • oh oh i want one lol

  • wtf, flying robotic pinguins

    OH MY GOD

    there going to use these flying pinguins to take over the world

  • woah that is beautiful the way they fly helium? propellor? what?? impressive but it scares me technology. if we can imitate life i think we our going to lose our identites as human beings.

  • So what? We did lose our identities as apes and what we were before them.

  • In thirty years I think AI bots will do almost all industrial work in the richer countries.

  • All the people are the same kids inside. Just with advanced toys.

  • 飛んでる!!!!凄すぎ

  • man i want one!

  • The move so realistically!

  • they should let one of those air penguins loose and see what happens

    or put one of the aqua ones in the wild

  • The floating penguins just crack me up!! XD

  • they can fly now!? oh no, RUN!!

  • RUN! TERMINATOR PENGUINS! AHHH xD jk

  • Air Penguins O_o

  • i would do any thing for an air penguin :D

  • I want an Air Penguin! XD

  • the air penguin??!? That was a 3D animation, right?

    Or are they like in a vacuum without gravity?

  • They're likely inflated with a low-density gas, helium perhaps.

  • Surf up Festo Air Penguin..they are lighter than air RC toys...very cool stuff

  • ^w^ OMG fweeness!!

    ... the human race is already doomed.

  • 00:19 WTF is that?

  • a penis :-|..... lol jk it is the fiberglass stuff

  • Comment removed

  • Good substitute for when the real penguins go extinct. Also, its kinda funny that man made a penguin fly.

  • Omg i want a flying/swimming robot penguin! :3

  • WE MUST DESTROY SKYNET!

    But, they are so cute!

    YOU FOOL! DEY ARE SKYNET DEATH MACHINNESSS

    But...but...so cute...

    YOU HAVE DOOMED US ALLLLLLLL

    ^Terminator 5

  • Flying penguins... > u >

    I wonder how they make them float. o.o?

  • In 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 vids in 30 mins

  • Wow.. That robot arm is ingenious..

    It's so elegant and beautiful, you just gotta love human enginuity.. =O

  • flying penguins... put some of those in an art gallery and attendance would FOR SURE go up... science and art man, good stuff

  • Penguin Sausages are just delicious

  • just the thought of flying mecha-penguins made my day :D

  • Seriously though, what's the point of these?

  • "Because they can"

  • its the start of skydyn kill them all !!!!!!!!!

  • AIR PENGUINS LOL

  • The narrator needs speech therapy.

    Seriously.

  • That is SWEET. I want one!!

  • AIR PENGUINS WOOT!

  • ZOMG AIR PENGUINS

  • Aw sweet,

    I WANT ONE!

  • the narrator is driving me crazy. shes like a mexican with a lateral lisp and its driving me up a wall.

  • i want a flying penguin to!! :D

  • those flying penguins look well cool

  • is it just me or does the narrator always hold the "n" in every last word in her sentences

  • and her "er"'s. haha. now u mentioned it, i cant stop listening to it! argg anoying! hahahah

  • i want an air penguin!

  • I WANT ONE FLYING PENGUIN!!!

  • i was amazed by the flying penguins its amazing how much technology has improved

  • NERDS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD....c'mon flying penguins...that's so sad

  • Your telling me, that some random bitch is gonna come and stain my clothes with blood?

    I will shove my hand so far up her ass and then rip all the shit outside, then stuff her with fucking straw and make her my new fucking love slave.

    Sucker.

  • they got that in megamen games

  • Holy shit! A flying giant penguin! Why must they make it a penguin... WHY!?!? Water one I understand because its aerodynamic but I mean come on.. for the air?

  • same for me ... serious flying giant penguin , well at least its not a wale i supose ...

  • Penguins are birds that can't fly. So it's kinda funny that way u know :P

  • Penguins used to fly

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Would bionic penguins be necessary for any future use

  • good point

  • why ? why the hell they must be penguins ? T__T couldn't they be i don't know .... maybe some kind of dog ? .... No , they must be PENGUINS

  • This is biomimic engineering at work, the reason they are shaped as penguins is because penguins have been evolved over millions of years to be extremely well adapted to their fluid environments. Anyone who has seen aquatic birds in action at a zoo or on video could tell you a penguin shaped robot would kick the pants off anything shaped like "some kind of dog" in a race or mobility challenge. Nature has done much of the design work for us, if we are willing to pay attention.

  • right.... i still want a dog shaped robot -_-"

  • Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.

  • Now we can rebuild them,Together we can create an army of penguins muhuhhhahahhahaha

  • what would you do with an army of cut penguins? adore us to death?

  • Try to take over the world,muhuhhahahaha

  • Disarm naval mines, perform ship diagnostic and repair work while in transit, map the sea bed, I can think of thousands of possible utilities.

  • YEY no when they say that they cant fly will have proof!!!!111

  • We can rebuild them! Stronger, Faster, Deadlier...PENGUINS!

  • YESS!!!.....

  • nice. I need big bionic transport earthworm. Probably to concure international railvays :)

  • Search "Happy Rob Buy" by google ,and you will find amazing.

  • I want one.DAMN!!! too kewl!!!!

  • WOW! THATS SO COOL.

  • I WANT AN AIR PENGUIN !!!

  • Sweet..! They also made a bionic fish like the penguin, although the penguin is a more advanced technology

  • are you kidding me? that penguin with the blue eyes was freaky but awesome!

  • yep im with you .... she sounds fake

  • omg penguins xD but her voice is annoying anyone feel me?

  • flying penguins hahaha, cool!

  • flying robotic penguins!  awesome

  • Comment removed

  • festo rules

  • i jizzed in my pants when i saw that flying penguins

  • I WANT ONE

  • can u give me 200 dollars? when penguin flies... -.- wait... GOD DAMNIT!

  • lol

  • Batman is shaking in his boots!

  • where be the sharks with lasers attached to their head?

  • friggin sharks with friggin lasers attached to their friggin heads?

  • ..and the next step is to mount the lasers.. to dominate the future battlefields from the sky...

  • nah first it needs a rocket engine then there will be a lasser and youve got fast moving auto turret ^^

  • Yes, anyone will fear "tha pengin"

  • GAYY!! How are these homophobic penguins gonna solve all the world problems?

  • how about advancment in robotics > better robot arms, legs > better life for cripeled.

    even tho this isnt a direct progress in that area its still robotics :P

  • whats the point of this creation?????/

  • HAHAHA FLYING ROBOTIC PENGUINS

    I wonder if they run on linux kernel ;p

  • well if they run on XP then they would fall from sky becose of the blue screen.

    Or perhaps hit the buildings becose they would see only blue :P

  • I think you mean Vista...XP rarely crashes.

  • i hope those flying robotic penguins take over the world

  • that... wouldn't be too nice

  • I wonder how many people could have been fed or seen a doctor if those penguin projects were scrapped.

  • That's so bad ass

  • great video except the narrator has an annoying voice. Her voice goes high at the end of sentences. It sounds retarded.

  • And they're just as cute as the real ones!

  • I want a flying penguin

    I dont care it its a robot

  • Watch out sharks - lazerbeams are next!

  • omg flying penguins, super win

  • i knew penguins can fly

  • the air penguins are so.....well-made, well more than fantastico.....

  • The fuckin air penguins are awesome!

  • that was awesome, but how were the flying penguins flying? they seemed to be just floating around

  • Soon penguins will go demonstrate on the streets we are taking their identity off them!!!

  • It seems like they need to work on perfecting the strokes. As they are, they seem rather awkward and inefficient.

  • wow all the ppl saying this is a waste of money clearly have no idea and are very close minded

  • i want to ride a flying penguin :D

  • omfg omfg omfg omfg i could write a really inteligent comment here but that would be a waste cause WHO THE HELL SAID PEINGUINS CANT FLY !! GOD BLESS TECHNOLOGY !! hahahahahahahahahahahahahah ITS MAGIC !

  • WOW! The flying penguins are pretty fucking sweet!!!

  • As for all the people wondering why we are creating these; it is a GOOD thing that we are experimenting with the fabrication of real biological things. This means we will slowly become better at creating other types of mimicry, and eventually, maybe even prosthetic limbs.

  • wtf waste of money

  • I hate her voice.

  • i like her voice..i think its cute

  • I'd have to agree. It's very repetitive in tonal patterns, which makes it incredibly annoying.

  • why they are spending money in that?

    good idea i going to make flying sea turtles?

    because i have the money

  • spending money for the better of humanity and possibly the world. If u have the money, spend it intelligently

  • thats its my point spend it intelligently not because it look good like in this, imagine spending time and money to make a working robot to be in farms instead of that. or something useful

  • OMFG PURE MAGIC PENGUIGS THEY FLY

  • FLYING PENGUINS!

  • I welcome our new robot penguin overlords

  • Looks very realistic.... except for the glowing blue eyes.

  • its like the terminator of pinguins

  • now give it a barret 50.cal:)

  • Amazing

  • the flying penguin bit was pure magic.

    i swear i almost cried

  • Flying penguins?

  • What just because real penguins can't, doesn't mean we are limited to that... Besides, everything is better when it flies.

    I want one of these penguins...

  • Now that is pretty cool.

  • those airborne penguins were cool as hell

  • Imagine,if in the near future scientists make flying peguins with weapons,and the penguins go wild? O_O

  • penguins CAN fly 8D

  • have u idiots watched irobot at all!?!?

    were doomed!!!

    penguins with smgs and snipers!!!!

  • and now there AIRBORNE!!!

  • I knew it! Penguins CAN fly!

  • robot abuse, they should be freed. Lol

  • Fuck yeah flying penguins! I'm really amazed at how fluid and organic their movement seemed. Even agile bots like Big Dog still have that "Precision tick" that marks them as uniquely robotic.

  • Robotic Aqua Penguins!!!!!!!!!!

  • *v* I want some!!

  • I wouldn't want to be around when those eyes turn red.

  • hahahaha

  • I want a swimming pool filled with robotic penguins :D

  • they aren't bionic, they are robotic...

  • interesting, none the less

    may i ask the difference?

  • The difference is that a bionic system works with an already existing biological components (such as prosthetic limbs working with the central nervous system), and a robotic device is purely electronics.

  • Are the flying ones real? They would make a cool art exhibit.

  • i want an air penguin!!!

  • I want a floating one!

    *gust of wind*

    NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

  • same

  • How they group together reminds me of that Wil Smith film irobot, when the older version robots were shelved they grouped tgether but nobody could explain why.

  • i was just thinking about that scene today. poor robots.

  • I love the air penguins! Gimmeh!!!

  • so cool

  • i'd love to see a seal / leopard seal engage one of these robots ...

    crunch crunch ... huh.. wtf !

  • I want an air penguin!

  • I love her voice. It's so informative. Sounds like a teacher lovingly explaining a subject to her students.

  • Unbeliveble!! super cool!

  • lol. air penguin?

    irony!

  • Wow coool, where can i get those air pinguines?

  • Yeah right, when penguins fly!!!

    oh shi-!

  • hahah exactly xD

  • Flying air penguin robots would be totally cool in a large mall.

  • Flying robotic penguins?

    I think I need to change my prescription.
