Biomimicry be not new story, even if Hummingbird robot to advise this time.

Which, must be regarded as Hummingbird robot miniature this can copy flapping for float middle the air has great very much

Hummingbird robot miniature this weigh 2.6 g only and control the work with infrared sensor, with four-wings small-sized can spread with high-speed until born the air is enough, to make it has drifted middle the air is like Hummingbird really. It can fly 10 foot high, and can fly long continual to 6 minute. Which, if compare with DARPA, still develop a robot has light 10 g

Which, the advantage from the development a hummingbird-style flying robot that could be used to find people trapped in collapsed buildings, search for criminals, or even explore other planets.
