In recent years, drone technology has rapidly advanced, opening up new possibilities for various industries. However, traditional drones can be disruptive to natural ecosystems due to their unfamiliar sound and appearance. To tackle this issue, a team of researchers at New Mexico Tech has developed drones made from the bodies of dead birds. By creating these birdlike drones from taxidermized bird parts, the researchers have eliminated the need to design and manufacture wings, making them ideal for monitoring wildlife. The drones can glide and hover like real birds, creating a more natural approach to wildlife monitoring. While still in development, … Continue reading When Tech Meets Nature: Researchers Develop Drone Technology Using Dead Birds
