LIKE A BIRD'S NECK

A source of scientific and technological innovations

An episode from the series NATURE = FUTURE

Synopsis

Birds use their necks for various tasks. This long, elongated organ, made up of several vertebrae, is capable of three-dimensional movement in space.

A comparative study of a hundred birds has led to the development of a robotic arm that mimics this kind of articulation.

Such bio-inspired robots address technological challenges and industrial applications within the framework of sustainable development.
