The Japanese have created a hummingbird robot
Specialists of the Japanese University CHIBA showed the public a promising development - a hummingbird robot.
The machine is a flywheel weighing 2.6 grams with two pairs of wings operating at a speed of 30 strokes per second. The robot confidently holds itself in the air, easily performs aerobatics - dead loops and eights, and by 2011, according to the developers' assurances, they can also hang in the air, as a live bird does.
Creating a robo-hummingbird cost nearly 200 million yen (2.95 million dollars). R
the developers believe that since the machine has higher flight data than miniature helicopters, this amount is justified. In the future, the robot is supposed to be equipped with a video camera and used for reconnaissance, prosecution of bandits, and also search for people under the rubble.
