SmartBird

[Remus]

Plenty of robots can fly, but none can fly like a real bird.
That is, until Markus Fischer and his team at Festo built SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings.
A soaring demo fresh from TEDGlobal 2011.

Skip to 2:10 to see it fly.

That's amazing. But lol at the awkward silence after they're done applauding.

"Woah! Awesome!"

..

"What else does it do?"

That's the part where they press the button that opens up the lumpy white paint repository in the rear.
