PRESENTATION OUTLINE
FESTO SMARTBIRD
THE BIRB OF THE CENTURY
Meet Festo. He’s a robot based on the Herring Gull.
Festo’s one and only task it can preform is...
Drum roll please...
IT FLIES!!!
NOT LIKE A PLANE. NOT LIKE A DRONE. IT ACTUALLY FLIES LIKE A BIRB.
The Smartbird can fly completely on its own, including taking off and landing.
MECHANICS
AND INNER WORKINGS
Festo has an ultralight frame, shown above, and a super light outside. Altogether, it only weighs about 485 grams.
The Smartbird is aerodynamic, based off of a real bird, the Herring Gull.
Festo’s flight pattern isn’t just up and down, it has four different stages.
Festo repeats his flying sequence, even modifying with certain conditions.
Festo can also shift the position of his tail and head for extreme agility and balance.
FESTO IS NATIVELY FROM AND USED IN
ESSLINGEN, GERMANY, WHERE FESTO CORPORATE IS.
SENSORS

The Hall sensor also is used in place of a mechanical commutator and brush, and operates as a magnetic field sensor.
BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES
PROS AND CONS OF FESTO SMARTBIRD
PROS
YOU KNOW, SMARTBIRD IS JUST ONE OF THOSE ROBOTS FOR PLEASURE, WITHOUT ANY BENEFIT TO HUMANITY- YET.
CONS
Festo has really no cons, either. He’s just a mind blowing machine, that’s eco-friendly and clean!
Perhaps in the future Smartbird could fly places people could not, and help the environment from an aerial perspective.
If Festo could fly over a danger zone with a GoPro, maybe police could get a better view of the places in question.
Festo Smartbird had the intended impact on it’s audience- complete and utter amazement.
