Robotic Bird

Now-a-days robots have taken its remarkable position in the development of a nation. Robot has changed the structure of society and made available different devices for safer and comfortable condition. Various robots are developed to perform varieties of task. Researchers are taking inspiration from the nature and try to develop novel robots. Biological inspired robotics has emerged as an important area within the field of robotics. People dreamt to fly like a bird since the earliest civilizations. The study of robotic bird is the race to overcome natural flight through mechanical means. Numerous devices have been developed with an objective to achieve optimum natural flight capabilities since the concept of ornithopters or Flapping Aerial Vehicles (FAVs) flourished. This paper aims at discussion and comparison between various aspects of flying robot. The comparative analysis is done in the fields of mechanism employed, designing techniques, materials, actuators, power source used, transmission mechanism, type of tails, controllers as well as the mainframe. Relative studies have concluded to a number a limitations or drawbacks that are currently observed in FAVs, which has been put forward in the paper. A number of already developed FAVs were studied in order to present the following premise serving as a common platform. Citation: Siddharth Joshi, Rudra Patel, Dr Mehul Gor, Hemant Thakkar.
