The Bionic Bird's Flight is Controlled By Your Smartphone
The Bionic Bird is an appropriately named bird robot that can be controlled using smartphone accelerometers and magnetometers. The bird can communicate via Bluetooth up to a range of 100 meters. It can fly for up to eight minutes at a time on a 12-minute charge.
The Bionic Bird's wings flap approximately 18 times a second on a flight just over a mile long. Its tail angle can be adjusted for slow or fast flight, allowing you to use it indoors.
The developers of the Bionic Bird are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to bring their idea to widespread production reality. A pledge of $100 will secure you a bird by Christmas this year if the campaign hits its fundraising goal. You can even enjoy free shipping if you live in the USA, Canada, European Union or Japan.
