Robots are usually the main signatures of Sci-fis or future technology. But then again, that future is no longer that far away because modern technology has gone a long way to bring them much closer to home than ever. A great example of that is seen in the several forms of animal robots that kept popping from different stores all over the globe. But what we see in our stores doesn't match up to the ones that live and breathe in different labs on the planet. On that note, today’s video will be all about them. So, join me as I introduce the top 10 robot animals you need to see to believe.
Number 10: The Spider Bots!
Depending on how easily you get freaked out by spiders, the spider robots can either give you joy or be your worst nightmare. For me, I consider these little animals to be cute and curdling. But when I first saw different types of robots shaped like spiders and what they could do, my fascination doubled. The one you see on your screen was built by a German Bionic Learning company called Festo and it was inspired by a unique type of Arachnid found in Morocco. That spider is named the Flic-Flac spider. And like the robot itself, the spider is known to roll on its side out of danger whenever it’s threatened. Aside from that, the robot also has 8 legs with 6 of them tucked in for rolling like any regular spider. These legs are moved by 15 motors. As such, the bots can walk or run when the terrain is even or even roll faster when it walks on flat surfaces. Better still, there are even others out there like this that can even dance.

Number 9: The Spies in the Wild
For many decades now, humans have made many outstanding discoveries of the behaviors within the animal kingdom. One of the reasons that achievement came to pass was because robots were sent to infiltrate thar society and spy on them. These robots are called Animatronics and they’re made to look exactly like real-life animals with ultra-definitive cameras embedded on them. With those cameras, the BBC and other major Wildlife channels have been able to document several animal behaviors within proximities that would have otherwise become impossible. Some of those examples include the ones seen in Shark attacks on people in Jaws and many other documentaries. But it all began when a movie director named John Downer decided to hide a camera inside a moving rock placed among a pride of lions. He named this rock the bouldercam and the idea has graduated into making 3D turtles, gorillas, pigeons, Silverbacks and even fish. A while ago, a fish robot captured a moment while dolphins were getting on the neurotoxins of a pufferfish.

Number 8: The Bionic Ants
The spider bots are not the only robots created by Festo. In the actual sense, this German company is one of the famous leaders in the battle of artificial intelligence. Next on this is also one of their works and it’s called the bionic ant. This ant, which is just one out of a swarm, is just like a real ant in terms of its overall design. That similarity is not only limited to the outside but also on the inside in terms of its behavior. Remember I said that these ants live in swarms? As such, they also communicate with one another to form castes and delegate duties to one another as a community. To do this, they are built with small cameras in their eyes region which allows them to see and process what’s in front of them. In addition to that, they have some monitors that allow them to move and perform these duties. But none of these would also be possible without power. On that note, they come with 2 batteries that can last for about 40 minutes.

Number 7: The SmartBird
Here is another robotic animal that was built by Festo. For the smartbird, its inspiration came from a herring gull. But in the world of artificial intelligence, the SmartBird is an ornithopter. In English, that’s pretty much like an airplane with flapping wings. Although, it can do a lot more stunts in the air than an ordinary airplane. It can not only flap its wings up and down; it can also twist in a predetermined manner like ordinary birds. All these the smartbird can do by itself in addition with taking off,
