Zombie birds may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but researchers in the United States are bringing the concept to life—minus the apocalyptic twist. At the New Mexico Tech Institute of Mining and Technology, scientists are repurposing deceased birds into drones, aiming to revolutionise wildlife research.
This groundbreaking project, led by Professor Mostafa Hassanalian, combines cutting-edge robotics with nature's designs to create lifelike drones. These reanimated aviators could help researchers study ecosystems more effectively while minimising disruption to wildlife.
