Have you seen a Drone before?
It's always ponders out in my mind if I hear this word.I'm wondering what are the uses of drone and I'm thinking if,who will be the first one to invent a real-like bird.(laughs)
Chinese group of people has invented a new drone that mimic the sounds and the actual movements of the real birds.If you can see it above the sky,you can never detect that it's just a Drone.
Song Bifeng, a professor at a university in Xi’an, China,developed this Drone that looks like a bird called "Dove".It was not a very easy tasks together with his team to fully navigate their invention.They tested 2,000 test flights just as to witnessed the real and actual birds flying in the sky.During the test flights,you will be fascinated because even the real birds won't be afraid to his invention because it feels like it's a real bird flying!It's a lifelike bird!

The team is planning to launched the Real Dove Drones in the public one they are assured of the requirements needed about this new invention.
The Dove Drone has fifty -centimeter span. The weight of this dove drone is 200 grams and has a high speed of 40 km per hour.Not quite bad.(laughs) This is equipped with electric motors that allows to fly low and high places.It also moves very quietly and even real birds cannot detect them that they are flying.
Dove drone has it Global Positioning Antenna and a camera.It can capture videos,photos which is very useful to some special occasions like parties,graduation exercises,weddings,parades and many more...
One of limitations of this new invention is that,it has no anti-collision technology causing them to crash when things are flying their way.Of course,they cannot fly so high and can signals can be affected when there is an approaching typhoons,rains coming and other bad weather condition.Song and his team are working on it just to solve the issues.They are very positive that with the help of Artificial Intelligence,everything will be in it's right timing.
Dove drones in China really gives a very positive uses especially in monitoring the different events.It also helps to detect bad people who disobeyed rules.It makes their work more easier in capturing photos and videos during big events.
Disadvantages in using Dove Drone
1.It is very expensive.
2.It has no anti collision feature.
3.It cannot fly in long distances.
Finally,there should be regulations in using Dove Drones because if not,maybe some bad people will use it in spying people .They will use it in terrorism.Indeed,China is still one of the leading countries in terms of using the new advanced technology in the world!
