The Bionic Learning Network is a cooperation between Festo and universities, institutes and development companies. This initiative sets out to devise new types of technology platforms and series products through the application of bionics, i.e. the transfer of biological principles to engineering. Automated movements can be made more energy-efficient and productive with the help of bionics; this opens up entirely new approaches for industrial practice.
Elias Knubben, born in 1975, finished his apprenticeship in metal construction with the artist Prof. Erich Hauser in Rottweil in 1999, studied industrial design in Stuttgart at the Academy of Art and got his diploma in 2004.
In 2005 he started to work as a designer in the department Corporate Bionic Projects of the Festo AG & Co.KG. Since May 2012 he is the head of that department. Beside this he works on his dissertation at the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart under Prof. Werner Sobek. His key activities are the conceptual design and the project management of bionic projects.
