This article gives insight into how researchers in different countries use bio-inspired robots in order to study animal behavior in their natural environment. For example, scientists from the US created a robot (B2) inspired by bats and their flight mechanism. B2 can do fast diving maneuvers and banking turns, and in addition to giving the means to emulate and study the flight dynamics of actual bats, it might assist shape the design of future more nimble flying robots, allowing us to reach inaccessible locations without inflicting harm or injury. Learn more about B2 and other fantastic examples of bio-inspired design applications by reading this article.
