Drone-carrying robot soars high during World Robot Conference in Beijing
A robotic bird able to secretly carry a drone was showcased during the World Robot Conference in Beijing on Tuesday.
Footage shows the robot called 'Wind Rider' flying while being controlled remotely, flapping its wings just like a real bird.
"This robot can only glide with wind or fly with electric power. It can fly with no power outage for long time. It is like a real bird, for example, frigate birds can stay in the air for 3 months and some other birds can fly over 10,000 km in 8 days without eating and drinking. It has the gliding option, so, the efficiency is high," according to Cai Yu, the CEO of Bee-eater Technology.
The World Robot Conference, where Wind Rider was displayed, is taking place for the fifth consecutive time in Beijing on August 19-25.
