#Festo has 3D-printed BionicANTS to compliment their eMotionButterflies. The two robots will be on display at in Germany, at the Hannover Fair 13-17 April 2015.

You may remember Festo regarding robotic dragonfly (bionicopter) drones: http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/29/bionicopter-dragonfly-drone/

3Dprint.com (27 Mar 2015): "Just imagine 3D printed colonies of ants, commanded to work together just as their live counterparts do naturally. Not only are they highly functional, they are stunningly beautiful with intricate details and vibrant color — almost jewel-like in their aesthetics, thanks to the use of 3D MID technology on laser-sintered shaped body parts. They are also powered by electronics, and part of their beauty is actually lent due to the strategic design of the golden-hued electrical components, which cause the 3D printed ants to function in myriad ways."

> For the BionicANTs, Festo has not only transferred the delicate anatomy of ants, but also their cooperative behaviour to the world of technology. Like their natural role models, they communicate with each other and work together according to clear rules to solve a common task.
