This is a video from Festo (not be confused with Fisto, the Protectron robot found in Fallout: New Vegas that you can mod into a pleasure bot) of their latest generation of BionicSwifts, robotic birds that fly using the same mechanics as real birds. According to Festo, the latest BionicSwifts “are agile, nimble and can even fly loops and tight turns. The five artificial swallows can move in a coordinated and autonomous manner in a defined airspace by interacting with a radio-based indoor GPS.” That’s cool, but I assumed all birds were already robots used by the government to spy on us, which is why you’ll often find me in the park feeding them popcorn and false information.
