New Lightweight Robotic Bird Takes Flight


.

The new SmartBird is very lightweight but is a very impressive flight model with excellent aerodynamic qualities, extreme agility, and performance. With this robotic bird, Festo has accomplished mimicking the flight of birds and has designed a fully autonomous robotic bird. The SmartBird is made to look like a gull, and the robot can take off, fly and land autonomously. Instead of its wings beating its wings up and down its also capable of turning them at a specific and precise angle. With all these awesome capabilities, the SmartBird would make a pretty cool technological pet! Thanks for reading and feel free to comment below!
