German technology firm Festo has developed Robotic Ants which could probably be the future of the factory production systems.
Real ants have a delicate body structure and they always display their team work to achieve common goals.
Moreover, these are called Bionic ANTs wherein ANT stands for Autonomous Networking Technologies.
There is a radio module placed in its abdomen which helps in wireless communication of these robots.
Just like the real ants these robotic ants have been provided with six articulated legs.
The antennae acts as chargers for the lithium batteries that helps in the movement of the cyborg ants.
Transferring the natural phenomena to the modern equipment are part of Festo developers Bionic Learning connection.
