flying robot

This cool invention is a flying robot that imitates a bird. It takes off, lands and flies like a real bird.

This flying robot has a two-meter wingspan, and a lightweight (450 gram) carbon-fiber skeleton body.

It uses hybrid drive technology to simulate the flying characteristics of the Herring Gull. The design imitates the construction and the motion of the wings during flight.

Birds have a down-stroke and a characteristic up-stroke of their wings, but they also twist to change angles for maneuverability and directional control.

The Smart Bird mimics this capability by using a flexible articulated torsion drive that allows the robot to autonomously twist for maximum flight efficiency - just like real birds.

This technical adaptation is quite an accomplishment in aerodynamic engineering. The project also provided innovated research into material construction and energy consumption efficiency.
flying robots are very useful and can be useful in many parts of the world...
