Description: This paper presents the development of computational
simulation and a robotic prototype based on the
dynamics of a robotic bird. The study analyze the wing angle
of attack and the velocity of the bird, the tail influence,
the gliding flight and the flapping flight with different
strategies and algorithms of control. The results are positive
for the construction of flying robots and a new generation of
airplanes developed to the similarity of flying animals.
Some highlights are given about the fist implemented
architecture of the structure of a robotic bird. This platform
consists on a body, wings and tail with actuators
independently controlled though a microcontroller a radio
transmission system and batteries are used in order to avoid
wired connections between the computer and the robot.
