Like real birds, the robot can adjust both the wing shape and surface area continuously throughout flight. Robot birds feature moving heads and tails, a realistic look, and authentic sounds. Motion is activated photo sensors pick up movement and bring the birds to life. Actually, it has an on / off switch.

These robotic birds were designed as a multipurpose gadget. It could be used as a spy gadget. Robot birds can carry onboard micro cameras.

Today there are many types of flexible and inflexible endoscopes are used in inspecting and performing medical procedures. Anyway, endoscopes are long slender medical instrument for examining the interior of a bodily organ or performing minor surgery. And most endoscopy procedures are unpleasant for the patient. But because of the advances in optics and instrumentation there is a leap from traditional open operating techniques to the minimally invasive surgeries of today.

The mini robot will be placed inside the body (at the affected area, of course!) by means of surgical incision. The mini robot can capture and gather pictures and relevant information. It can take tissue samples and can perform medical treatments. When the mini robot is remotely positioned to the affected area, it is then controlled and guided using a magnetic resonance imaging or MRI, defined as the use of nuclear magnetic resonance of protons to produce proton density images. Then the image is seen in the computer during the procedure.

Actually, this technology was first tested in animals, and we are going to be the next in line! Isn’t it great?
