Creativity: Robotic Bird That Flies Like A Real One

Learning from the nature is not something new. Leonardo Da Vinci was watching birds closely to understand how they fly. But modern automation technologies have made it possible to mimic the nature in real detail. We can now go beyond observation and mimic the mechanisms and movements as well.

German company Festo specializes in automation and they have created a robot bird that flies! Festo's bionic learning projects are impressive. Apart from this bird you can also view a bionic kangaroo developed by them.
