The drone marks the first in a series of [bionic birds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bird-feeders). It is equipped with cameras and sensors to embark on [reconnaissance and rescue missions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-bladeless) with ease. While the bionic bird acts as an [advanced drone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-aqua-drone), its shape boasts a captivating design. The designer blended contrasting black and grey components for a striking appearance. Its mechanics are flexible to allow the robot to move its neck in the direction the camera is oriented while flying. Hooded Crow is finished with a soft cushioning material that helps maintain its aerodynamics and stability while it flies. Additionally, its solid frame tail is used to maneuver the robot sharply across the air.
