       Just stumbled across this presentation of a German company which has developed artificial swallows that can fly loops and tight turns autonomouslyThe most fascinating for me, however, is that, if you look at them from a certain distance, they almost look like birds, because these machines mimic the sequence of movements birds do very accuratelyVideo here:https://www.festo.com/group/en/cms/13787.htm

       @jwildeboer I didn’t know this, but now that you’re saying it I vaguely remember that they were in the news before because of a flying object. Will be interesting to what they‘ll come up with next.
