The word ornithopter comes from the combination of two Greek words for bird and wing. It is a device that imitates the flapping-wing flight found in nature. It can fly by producing enough lift through its wings flapping motion. Imagine installing a wireless camera in this ornihopters, it will result into a device that can survey an area from a remote location using a device that mimics the flight pattern of natural fliers like insects and bird. The paper is all about the construction of a robot that is capable of flying through flapping wings. The said prototype will be equipped with a wireless camera so that it can be a tool that let its user survey an area from a remote location. It can be remotely controlled through a personal computer (PC) or through a laptop by utilizing its graphical user interface.
