Using their flippers, the mechanical penguins can paddle through water just like real ones, while larger helium-filled designs can "swim" through the air. The penguins are on show at the Hannover Messe Trade Exhibition in Germany.
Each penguin carries 3D sonar developed by EvoLogics in Berlin, Germany, which is used to monitor its surroundings and avoid collisions with walls or other penguins.

I'd love to see a massive sting ray-like robot flying above. Not only would it look majestic but it could be used to survey the area, perhaps gather data for various purposes.

How beautiful the landscapes of the future will be are only limited by our imagination : )
