Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Bumblebee flight
inspires 'bad weather robot' design.
An insect is going
to teach humans how to fly? But if you think of the size of a worker bumblebee,
which weighs only about a half of one tenth of a gram and whose wingspan ranges
mere 22-34 mm, it seems worth studying how such a tiny creature flies even in
extreme weather conditions.
Actually, other
researchers are trying to learn how other creatures react, move or use their
bodies to advance sensor and motion technologies for vehicles and robots.
Enjoy reading and
learning what the researchers are trying to learn from the bumblebee.
