Migrate birds always alter their residence from North or South part of the earth to the other. Their excellent sense of direction caught our attention. Moreover, their organization between each, and the keen ability that appears when they get lost are all worth our learning. Therefore, we decided to make a migrate bird inspired robot to help us take advantage of migrating bird’s behavior and help other researchers who would like to learn more by simulating their organizing skills and independent action. Our research project will focus on the usage of the magnetic field to find the direction and also reproduces the birds react to show their organizing skills and independent abilities.
