Flying like a bird
The bionic SmartBird
, inspired by the herring gull, takes off,
flies and lands autonomously. Its integrated design inspires
new methods in energy saving and lightweight design in
automation. Showcased for the first time in the UK at the annual
Spring TED conference in Edinburgh, more than 1,250,000 people
have now logged on to see the Festo SmartBird fly.
