# Robotic Birds The RoboSwift 'Eyes in Diguise' is a Micro Aerial Vehicle By Tisah Tucknott | Published 2009-07-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboswift-micro-aerial-vehicle References: [nextnature.net](http://www.nextnature.net/?p=2091) & [roboswift.nl](http://www.roboswift.nl/) RoboSwift, also referred to as “eyes in disguise,” was designed by [Aerospace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Dawn-Aerospace) engineering students at TU Delft. These genius minds created a [micro-aerial-vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsmall-drone) that uses wing–morphing for steering. Just imagine how RoboSwift devices will be swarming the skies in the future in the attempt to provide [surveillance over cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance). I'm sure crime will be reduced, as there will be more “eyes in disguise.” **Implications** - Since technology is becoming more advanced each and every day, businesses need to get creative. People are expecting new technological creations to be astonishing, helpful and easy to use. Items such as the featured robotic bird are examples of clever safety creations that can be used by many businesses such as safety companies and even police. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Micro Aerial Vehicles:** The creation of the RoboSwift proves promising for the use of micro aerial vehicles that utilize wing-morphing for maneuverability. - **Surveillance Technology:** RoboSwift's design can be applied to the development of advanced surveillance technology, improving the safety and security of various locations. - **Innovation in Safety:** The creation of RoboSwift demonstrates an opportunity for businesses in the safety and security industry to explore the use of innovative technologies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can benefit from the development of micro aerial vehicles with adaptive wing design for improved maneuverability. - **Surveillance:** RoboSwift's technology has implications for the surveillance industry, offering a potential solution to improved aerial surveillance. - **Safety and Security:** Businesses in the safety and security industry can explore the application of advanced technologies like RoboSwift to create innovative solutions for safety measures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crow-Shaped Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooded-crow.md) - [Bird-Diverting Robotic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-system.md) - [Biomimicry Bird-Like Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bionic-bird-xfly.md) - [Miniature Flying Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-robot.md) - [Multidirectional Miniature Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multidirectional-miniature-robots.md) - [Smart Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdbuddy-2-mini.md) - [AI-Enhanced Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robinsnote-smart-bird-feeder.md) - [AI-Powered Bird Feeder Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bird-feeders.md) - [Avian African Aircraft Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aircraft-concepts.md)
