Specifically, the researchers used some parts from dead birds instead of artificial materials to build drones. The bird parts were redesigned and combined with the mechanical parts to create a flying device that both looks and moves like birds in a realistic way.

These carcass-based drones will be used for wildlife and military observations.

Drones that look like birds can fly close to wildlife, especially those that are still afraid of humans, helping scientists delve deeper into the unknown. many animals.

In the video above, the drone is combined from the body of a pheasant and a pigeon, which looks like a real bird. Of course, scientists will have to further improve it so that it can perform a more advanced range of maneuvers, including landing capabilities that help with parking and tracking and without using too much battery.

This is not the first time scientists have sought to revive dead animals in one way or another. In the past, researchers have conducted experiments to turn dead spiders into robots that can grab prey.
