This Is PigeonBot, the World’s Most Bird-Like Flying Robot Yet
2020年1月24日 · Using this information, the team in Lentink’s Bio-Inspired Research and Design (BIRD) Lab built a simple, propeller-powered robot out of foamboard, rubber bands, and real pigeon feathers. When its fingers and wrists were rotated via remote control, the feathers automatically moved in proportion and recreated wing shapes as seen in pigeons.
