This robot is almost indistinguishable from live insects
11 March 2019 - 15:00 | Interesting information
In 2014, the French engineer Edwin Van Ryuibbeke created a very unusual robot Bionic Bird, which is a bird that flies with realistic flapping wings. Five years later, the craftsman declared himself again, and this time he presented an even more sophisticated mechanism - he designed the tiny MetaFly butterfly, which is difficult to distinguish from a living creature from afar.
With a length of 19 centimeters and a wingspan of 29 centimeters, the design of the robot weighs only 10 grams. Realistic flaps of light and flexible wings are answered by a coreless engine with an aluminum radiator, which is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion battery energy. Charging duration of 15 minutes is only enough for 8 minutes of flight, but if you wish, you can equip the robot with a 1500 mAh power supply, which is enough for a 20-minute job. The speed of the robot is very impressive, and reaches 12 kilometers per hour.
