Hunter's comment

This Flying fox is a lightweight flying object can move semi-autonomously in a defined space. Festo , creator of Bionic flying fox , studied the characteristics of flying fox and decided to design one. They created the similar wing structures with the real one. They also succeeded to simulate the flying membrane with real flying fox. It flies in defined space so that it can communicate with motion tracking system. It consists of camera that computes data and evaluates to set the path for the Flying fox.

Features

• Agile kinematics based on natural role model
• Specially developed flying membrane

• Automated flying in defined space
• Machine learning for path evaluation
