Explain the function of a robot which is inspired by bird.

One example of a robot inspired by birds is the SmartBird, developed by the German engineering firm, Festo. The SmartBird is an autonomous ornithopter robotic bird that can fly and move in the air like a real bird due to its lightweight design and bio-inspired flight control system. It is designed to mimic the bird's wing motions and tail movements. The robot's wings are made of lightweight foam and are controlled by a complex system of linkages and motors that allow them to flap and adjust their angle of attack. The robot's tail is also controlled by a separate set of motors, which allow it to steer and stabilise the robot during flight.
