Friday math movie: A robot that flies like a bird

By Murray Bourne, 09 Sep 2011

This is a great short video showing what can be done with some clever engineering (and math of course, for efficiency).

Markus Fischer demonstrates the SmartBird.

I'd love to have one of these!

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
