We caught sight of the Festo SmartBird back in March this year, where said robot boasted of extremely realistic wing movements and flight motion, even going so far as to turn its head in order to steer. Well, Markus Fischer and his team at Festo demonstrated their seagull inspired SmartBird over at TEDGlobal 2011, letting the SmartBird flap its wings across the heads of audiences – minus the droppings, of course. You can always check out the video of the SmartBird in action after the jump, and be totally amazed.
Ubergizmo, SmartBird from Festo flies like a real bird
