TALKING DRONE

To Communicate With Crow

The Talking Drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is used to communicate with birds in the air. This drone has a first-person view (FPV) camera system and speaker. Even when the drone flies out of the sight of the ground operator, it can approach a bird using wireless live video streaming, and can effectively broadcast bird sounds to other birds using a small light- weight speaker.

TALKING DRONE

HOW

DOES IT

WORK

01/ The crow robots begin dummy conversation.

02/ Nearby crows those heard it gather

03/ Then both robot crows and crows begin to talk

04/ Soon the robot in the air also participates in the         conversation and guides them

Talking Drone

Controlling bird behavior by broadcasting bird vocalization 

The Talking Drone approach inaccessible areas through the use of an FPV system (on-board camera and wireless video transmitter), and can broadcast vocal bird sounds to other wild birds using a compact sound speaker.  In addition, the drone is equipped with an auto-pilot system to stabilize its flight.
