Mosquitoes inspired collision-avoidance sensory system for drones

Very recommendable! What can we learn from mosquitos? 



"Their research, published in Science, demonstrates how the mosquito avoids obstacles in the dark by sensing changes in the airflows generated by its flapping wings."



University of Leeds | News > Science > Can mosquitoes stop us going bump in the night? Scientists have used the principles that guide a mosquito’s nocturnal flight to develop a quadcopter equipped with an elegant collision-avoidance sensory system.
