Birds are very agile. They fly, not with rotating components, but by flapping their wings. Plenty of robots can fly – but none can fly like a real bird. That is, until Markus Fischer and his team at Festo built SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings. There’s a video where you can see the robot fly.

Geweldig! Ik kon niet stoppen met grijnzen toen hij door die zaal cirkelde.
Deze zijn ook leuk, technisch minder knap, maar des te vervreemdender.
