When Tech Meets Nature: Researchers Develop Drone Technology Using Dead Birds
Drone technology has opened up new possibilities for various industries, but traditional drones can be disruptive to natural ecosystems.
A team of researchers at New Mexico Tech has developed drones made from the bodies of dead birds.
Bird drones eliminate the need to design and manufacture wings, making them ideal for monitoring wildlife.
These drones can glide and hover like real birds, creating a more natural approach to wildlife monitoring.
The bird drones need more tinkering to become more flexible, nimble, and efficient.
Their design will make them look more natural when in use, and reducing the need for soundproofing will also make them less disruptive to ecosystems.
No real birds were physically harmed in creating these drones. The main goal is to develop a nature-friendly drone concept for wildlife monitoring.
The use of bird drones is intended as a means of observing wildlife seamlessly and naturally, not for espionage.
