Festo eMotion Butterflies

Friends! Today we will talk about Festo eMotion Butterflies which is an artificial butterflies made with the use of technology. Technology has grown so much around the world that people can now make anything with machines. Yes, you must have seen a machine-operated robot, or you must have seen a machine-operated robot dog. But you might be surprised to know that engineers have also made machine-operated butterflies.

Yes, such an eMotion Butterfly has been made which has small robots attached to it and these butterflies are completely artificial. But no one can easily tell whether these butterflies are actually real butterflies or artificial butterflies.

All about Festo eMotion Butterflies

The company that makes these butterflies is Festo. With the help of different types of artificial machine learning, it converts the design of any organism into artificial, due to which it looks like a real organism, but it is completely robotic.

That is why the full name of these butterflies is Festo eMotion Butterflies. These Butterflies are made from very ultralight flying objects. Due to which its wings can be controlled in a very precise manner.

When this butterfly is seen from very close, it seems that some kind of machine is installed in it. Otherwise, from a distance it seems that it is a normal butterfly.

Flying is a very important thing in Robotic Science. Which is very important for Bionic Leaning Network. In such a situation, Festo company has developed a Bionic Butterfly with the help of Bionic Opter and eMotion Spheres Projects.

Features of Festo eMotion Butterflies

This butterfly has two infrared markers installed on its wings, which detect the space of this butterfly. That is, along with flying, this butterfly can also sense the nearby object and flies only in empty space.

Talking about the design of this butterfly, it has a total of 4 wings. All the four wings are different from each other. Two are installed in the left and two in the right.

Festo company has created a very good technology with the help of Artificial Insetcs and Flying Behaviour Science, Aerodynamics and Collective Motion. However, many things can still be developed in this Artificial Butterfly.

The biggest challenge in this is that power supply cannot be given in large quantity. Due to which these Artificial Butterflies cannot fly for long. Also, it does not have so much power that it can fly to a great height.

In future, work is being done on the technology to store more power in these Butterflies. Also, if a camera is fitted in it which can be seen on the screen, it would be even better. But giving so much weight to a butterfly along with flying is impossible in the present time.

However, this Butterfly Model will inspire the upcoming Engineers. And if possible, very soon these Artificial Butterflies will be used for the benefits of Humans.

Conclusion

However, right now it can only be flown in a lab in a room with the help of infrared camera and sensor. And work is still going on on it. But seeing this artificial butterfly flying is a very good feeling in itself. This shows that humans can do a lot with their thinking.
