Woah, This Robobird Really Flies Like A Bird ? Like, With Wings

The SmartBird, designed by Festo, is an ultra-light flying machine modeled on "herring gulls," whatever those are (we have "seagulls" here), and it actually flies by flapping its wings as a bird would — not just up and down, either, but twisting at the precise angles that make precise flight possible.
