SmartBird almost a seagull

The Technology Development Institute of Japan Festo has launched a new project in their area of robotics that will leave more than a gaping; SmartBird is a bird flying robot capable of mechanically like the real birds. Robotics is advancing by leaps and bounds and every month new devices are produced by Japanese institutions, mainly.

This time we are surprised with SmartBird Festo unlike other droid is capable of mounting flight, landing and plan simply by using their wings. It is the first robot capable of flying but so far they did using a light gas and not mechanically. The SmartBird comes as part of the Bionic Learning Network and as you can see in the picture design is based on a gull at sea.
