We want to highlight incredible feats of engineering here at BOED, and today we have an amazing robot bird developed by the robotics department at the University of Maryland. The robo-raven can perform any aeronautic maneuver imaginable – all thanks to wings that move independently of one another.

Check out this video, especially at the 1:49 mark where the robot bird has an encounter with a hawk, which attacks it in mid air:
