Wow, This Drone Was Created to Drive Birds

Wow, This Drone Was Created to Drive Birds - Who thinks that drones can now become a means of innovation for scientists. Do you have the drone? a drone is an unmanned flying object that can be controlled remotely using a remote control. Now many airports use drones manually driven. Price? of course expensive, because it takes trained pilots to control this drone.

The California Institute of Technology (CalTech) has presented autonomous drones to disperse flocks of birds flying around the airport. This was done to prevent flocks of birds from obstructing flight.

Soon-Jo Chung, a scientist from CalTech, was interested in making this drone after studying historical events that were remembered all over the world, namely the emergency landing of US Airways 1549 on the Hudson River in 2009. This aircraft almost fell due to the attack of birds.

Chung said "I think if the incident reoccurred, it is not certain that other aircraft will have a good chance like US Airways. Therefore, I began to try to protect the air space of the flock by utilizing my ability to robotics and autonomous technology "

This drone serves to predict and influence the behavior of the herd. Although Chung realized this was not easy. Therefore, Chung said that the drone must be in the right position. The drone will not work if the drone is too far away from the birds. However, drones also don't get too close because they can risk disrupting birds to make them uncontrolled.

The research team has studied how a group of herds move and influence each other, then they describe how birds move when responding to threats. After the learning was carried out, it was concluded that the drone flight path would cause the birds to fly in the desired direction without panic and scattered.

Autonomous drones will be spread in several spaces with instructions to prevent birds from entering protected areas. However, it still requires a lot of experimentation to get a stable pattern and system so that the drones can work for a variety of sizes and speeds of different birds.

So, are you interested in using drones?
