Abstract: Our Invention "IFCE- Robot Bird Flying System "is a robot bird flying controllability 
evaluation system and evaluation method and the evaluation system, a microprocessor B 
produces stimulus pulse sequences with gradually changed strength according to the 
preset rule, a microprocessor A is in charge of GPS data analysis and relevant information 
record, the microprocessor B cooperates with the microprocessor A. The invention is the 
relevant test data collection of a robot bird to be detected are completed in a cooperated 
manner, the collected data are processed through a data analysis system of a computer 
before being converted into a trajectory based on an electronic map, whether the robot 
bird has the flying controllability or not can judged on the basis of the trajectory and the 
relevant information, and the evaluation whether the robot bird is qualified or not can be 
completed. The invention is to a comprehensive evaluation of the robot bird flying 
controllability can be realized, the prior information required by flight navigation can be 
acquired, the blindness of subsequent flight navigation tests is reduced, a large amount of 
invalid repetitive work is avoided, the working efficiency is improved greatly, and the 
robot bird practical progress can be accelerated. The invention also includes a method of 
a robot bird, which adopts a proper micro-stimulation signal to timely stimulate an 
abdominal dorsal median nucleus and a robustus archistriatalis of a thalamencephalon of 
the bird to lead an active escaping behavior of the bird; thereby guiding the flying 
behavior of the bird. The invention utilizes the active escaping behavior of the bird 
resulted from using a micro-electricity to simulate a specific nerve nuclei of the bird, 
namely using a principle of using the micro-electricity to simulate the nerve nuclei to 
image 'hurt'to guide the behavior of the bird. The method used for guiding the robot bird 
of the invention has the advantages that as the principle utilizes the appetence of the bird 
to avoid hurt, the invention has a powerful guiding function; thereby needing not to train 
the bird in advance; the robot bird has a huge using value. The invention is a compared 
with the ground animal, the bird has a larger active space and fast moving speed, thus 
having a larger application advantage obviously the realistic and potential application is 
very wide and a modern jet engine inlet protection system that protects against large 
birds and operates autonomously, that is dormant in routine aircraft operations. The 
invention take a automatically actuates its protective device(s) only at the immediate 
point of need, then returning it (them) to a non-interfering position, including a RADAR 
system and a LIDAR system which detect birds entering the intended flight path of the 
aircraft, and fast computer-implemented computational algorithms that track and identify 
those from the detected set that are (1) projected to enter a zone which would lead to 
ingestion by the engine, and (2) of a size large enough that they would seriously damage 
the engine if ingested. The invention also includes defensive mechanisms housed in the 
engine nacelle cowling or center hub, or in the fuselage structure that are instantaneously 
actuated shortly before arriving at the point of impact to shield, deflect, reduce the size of 
the approaching bird to an acceptable mass, or destroy it, and, that after the ingestion 
threat has passed, the devices are stowed/retracted or safely jettisoned.
