如鸟儿飞翔的机器人

很多机器人都能飞--但是没有一个可以像一只真鸟儿那样真正飞翔。直到马库斯·菲舍尔(Markus Fischer)和他的团队在费斯托(Festo)成功造出智能鸟，这是一个大型，超轻，呈海鸥外形的机器人，如真鸟儿一样通过拍动翅膀飞行。看看它怎样在TEDGlobal2011大会上一飞冲天吧。

Humans have long dreamed of flying like birds, but imitating their effortless, agile flight remained a challenge. A lightweight robot modeled on the herring gull, with a two-meter wingspan and just 450 grams in weight, finally achieved this by flapping and twisting its wings for lift and propulsion. This breakthrough emerged from careful study of avian motion and precise engineering of carbon fiber structures. The result is a machine that not only soars overhead but does so with remarkable energy efficiency.
