Flying like a bird had
always been mankind's ancient dream and as such, many
had tried to design their own ornithopters.
An ornithopter is a
form of aircraft
that flies by flapping it's wings. One of the earliest human
attempts was that by Leonardo da Vinci. The first successful
rubber-powered ornithopter was designed in early 1870s and since
then many kinds of manned or unmanned ornithopters had been derived.
Most of the ornithopters that you can find today are
either driven by
engines, rubber bands or compressed gas. The engine-driven ornithopter is powerful but very noisy and, for beginners, it is
intimidating and difficult to handle. The rubber-powered or
compressed gas-powered ones are easier to handle but their flight durations
are very short and are not remotely controllable.
The innovative
CybirdTM is driven by
a electric motor and it flies for up to 18 minutes with fully charged battery pack.
There is no messing around with engine and fuel required. The
CybirdTM is also
remotely controllable and capable of performing simulated bird
in-flight actions including gliding and also some mild 3D like
inside and outside loops.

In the past, robots were mostly used to
manufacture products in the factory.
Since the introduction of AIBO, the
interactive robo-pet developed by Sony,
robot has become a common name in our lives.
Now, the word "ROBOT" reminds people of
friendly and life-like machines helping
people or providing entertainment never
achievable before. These changes also
affect the toy industry. Today, the
applications of robots have become much
wider than before.
The product concept of CybirdTM is a
robot bird, and its ultimate application
target is MAV (Micro Aerial Vehicle). The
MAVs can serve military purposes such as
surveillance and reconnaissance. They could
also be adapted to many civilian
applications including guiding fire and
rescue operations, monitoring traffic,
forestry and wildlife surveys and real
estate aerial photography. We focus on the
entertainment and toy industry, which can
very well be the most easily appreciated
application of a robot bird.
Our CybirdTM has been
launched as a fully assembled and ready to
play educational and entertaining kit for
all ages and they were also developed with
specifications and functions appropriate for
toy and R/C fanatics. |
