Bionics is more than just biology and technology, it arouses curiosity and shows the way ahead in shaping future lifeworlds in a responsible manner. 25 years of bionics at Festo have yielded an enormous variety of projects. Technological innovations should always create added value both for humans and the worlds of flora and fauna. Nature constitutes the basis of bionics and is at the same time its ultimate objective. Even cooperation between humans and machines is increasingly oriented towards biological principles: robots interact with people sensitively and with consideration. Bionics is enabling complex questions to be resolved and the fourth industrial revolution to become reality.
