One of the best method to conduct air surveillance of your neighbourhood is to sent this robot swiftlets flying high about without getting any attention from anyone on the ground.
You never thought that this is possible but nowadays nothing is impossible.
With its 50 cm wing span and 80 grams of weight, this high tech bird is ready to infiltrate swift surveillance squads next summer.
Aerospace engineering students at TU Delft, together with the Department of Experimental Zoology of Wageningen University designed the micro airplane that uses wing–morphing for steering.
Doing so, the Roboswift becomes highly maneuverable at very high and very low speeds, just like the swift. During it’s test–flight today, this one ended up in a tree. But who knows… perhaps in the future they will be swarming the skies.
