This is a brilliant and immensely beautiful combination of art and engineering. I am mesmerized by the sublime movement of the creatures. Thank you very much for posting this and the other Festo videos. I am a fan!

Humanity doesn't need any particular reason to destroy itself anymore than it all ready has for human any reason will do. And to whoever it was that said this could be used as weapon that might be a possibility then again maybe not. Having said that military applications is usually the first question not how will this better lives or the environment

Sorry I guess your right, I can be an asshole. But I disagree with corporations/companies using robotic technology as so, to replace human labor. We don't need a higher unemployment rate as we already have. And about using this as a weapon is bullshit in my opinion. I am damn proud of any soldier that has served my country. But I say lets put elected officials into the military if we were to fight something that is worth fighting for, not the regular American citizen.

Ok now your just being an asshole. A machine that looks more like things in the environment can be more effective than a human cameraman. Why would you think we camouflage cameras that are meant to observe wildlife without humans? And they could put mines in the machine itself and make the robot float around with no need to tether it with bulky chains. This can allow mines to move around and strike enemies, instead of being tethered to one place.
