Video ItemEngineering Explained: Bat-inspired robot drones , video
What is biomimicry? Can technology inspired by nature, or biomimetics, solve modern problems? What if humans could use sonar to mimic how bats fly using echolocation and acoustic sensing? What does it mean to be “blind as a bat”? Are bats really blind? Rolf Mueller, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech, believes that bats are advanced animals worth copying. Using robotic ears and dynamic wing technology, Mueller hopes to combine both sonar and drone capabilities into a bat-inspired flying robot that can help farmers with crop management.
