Engineering a Seagull


This is a nice documentary/PR piece by Festo on building a flapping robotic seagull. There are quite a few details about the trials and tribulations of getting something like this to work, managing the center of gravity, and making the entire structure light enough for flight. All in all, worth the time to watch.

PS: I'll try to keep this blog a bit more updated than it has been.
