American black technology is coming again. This is a "bat" UAV

The development of UAV is very fast. Now, unmanned aerial vehicles can be used to deliver goods or help people perform search and rescue tasks. It is certain that our future life and work will be inseparable from flying robots.

Scientists have been looking for a better and safer way for flying robots. Batrobot may be a good solution.

Bats are not only the only mammals that can fly in nature, but also their flight ability is better than that of birds.

Bats have no feathers. They use bones and thin skin to fly. During flight, their ability to dive and turn is impressive. For many years, scientists have been studying the flight mechanics of bats.

Now, the California Institute of Technology Technology), Alireza Ramezani, Soon Jo Chung and Seth Hutchinson has developed a bat robot. This bat robot is called Bat Bot (B2) It can fly automatically, and its appearance and flight mode are very close to real bats. Three researchers published their research results in Science Robotics this week Magazine.

Most UAVs use rigid wings and propellers to fly. But three researchers at the California Institute of Technology hope to create a complex flap by imitating the unique structure of bats. Their research result is the Bat Bot (B2), which weighs only 93 grams.

Bat Bot B2 is a completely self-control robot, which is equipped with a computer and some sensors to help it master its own position and the relative positions of elbows, hips and joints during flight. Instead of installing actuators for each joint of Bat Bot B2, the researchers only installed brakes for the wing joints, making the body thinner and lighter.

Although Bat Bot B2 is almost white and translucent, it looks like a real bat, especially when it flies. It can even dive like a bat.

Solving the riddle of bat flight is not only an interesting research. Researchers believe that in an environment where humans and robots must coexist, flying robots will be safer if they have soft and flexible wings and can suddenly turn, hover or make small turns in the air. Moreover, such flying robots can also perform search and rescue tasks more effectively in complex environments.
