A bionic bird known as SmartBird has been developed by German company
that can takes off, fly and land without human interference and with
minimal consumption of energy. The size of the SmartBird is about 150 cm
wingspan, the wings feet long, and a torso of more than one meter.
Despite the dimensions, the SmartBird is very lightweight. It is powered
by two small lithium batteries with half amp charge.
Despite the high technology used in its mechanical structure, the key to
the secret of seagull flying mechanic is within your torso. While
motion sensors indicate the exact position of the wings and an
accelerometer provides information about the displacement and tilt the
bird, a small microprocessor system calculates the exact angle of twist
of each wing and tail of the bird, which allows him to fly in different
directions, take off and land without human interference. However, you
can also control it via a microwave radio system known as ‘ZigBee’,
which combines rapid response and low power consumption.
