FESTO

Festo is a German company that produces pneumatic and electric technology for factory automation and process automation, as well as comprehensive solutions. The company provides services to industries such as electronics and light assembly, food and beverage packaging, automotive, water treatment, and biotechnology/pharmaceuticals [0]. Festo is also famous for its bio-inspired robots, which are designed to improve energy efficiency while studying robots. During the research and development of these bio-inspired robots, Festo considered multiple factors, including materials, power, and energy efficiency [4].

Festo AG & Co. KG is the most famous manufacturer of pneumatic components, modules, and systems in the world, and its headquarters are located in Esslingen, Germany. Festo (China) Co., Ltd. is the wholly-owned subsidiary established in mainland China in 1993, which is responsible for the overall business of the China region, and its headquarters is located in the Pudong Jinqiao Development Zone, Shanghai [3].

Festo's bio-inspired robots are designed to mimic the movements and structures of animals. For example, Festo's BionicFinWave is inspired by the movement of cuttlefish, while the BionicFlyingFox is inspired by the movement of bats [4]. These robots have different structures and functions, but they share the common goal of improving energy efficiency. Festo's bio-inspired robots are made of lightweight materials to reduce the energy consumption required for movement. In addition, Festo has incorporated autonomous learning capabilities into some of its bio-inspired robots, allowing them to optimize their actions through self-learning
