Robotic Bird


Our engineering group has achieved incredible heights by designing this magnificent flying machine. The challenge underlying this invention was minimizing the weight of the robotic bird while maximizing lift from its flapping winds. 
This robotic seagull is 1m in length and weigh even less than ½kg with boasts a 2-meter wingspan. 
  
If we start comparing with real bird, the well known European herring gull is just little over ½ m in length with a wingspan up to one and a half meters and weighs roughly 1kg.
