It is programmed to home in on a signal and manoeuvres and then pitches up and perches on someone's hand.

Hand perching involves two phases. First, the robot has to maneuver while gliding in order to reach the desired position, which it achieves by reorienting its articulated wings. Second, it has to “pitch up” right before landing to briefly climb and quickly reduce its touchdown speed.
