Being in this world…

Robo Bird

by | Aug 17, 2011 | Amusing

It is a dream of mankind to fly like a bird. Birds are very agile. They fly, not with rotating components, so they fly only by flapping their wings. So we looked at the birds, and we tried to make a model that is powerful ultralight, and it must have excellent aerodynamic qualities that would fly by its own and only by flapping its wings.

SmartBird is a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings. Its wings not only beat up and down but twist like those of a real bird, it’s a perfect technical imitation of the natural modelWatch the fresh soaring demo.

Markus Fischer led the team at Festo that developed the first ultralight artificial bird capable of flying like a real bird.
