一隻飛得像鳥的機器人

那麼多的機器人,沒有一個可以飛得像隻真正的鳥。直到Markus Fischer和其團隊在Festo公司創作出能振翅而飛的「聰明鳥」:一隻仿照海鷗的外型而製成之大型、輕盈的機器鳥。在TEDGlobal2011首次登場,展翅飛翔。

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.
