A ROBOT THAT FLIES LIKE A BIRD
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. A soaring demo fresh from TEDGlobal 2011.
The speaker:
Markus Fischer · Designer. Markus Fischer led the team at Festo that developed the first ultralight artificial bird capable of flying like a real bird.
