How Studying Animals Is Helping Us Make Better Drones

The video explores how engineers are inspired by nature to improve drone technology. It discusses challenges drones face in smoke and fog, and how animals like bats and oil birds use echolocation for navigation. The video also covers the miniaturization of drones, inspired by insects, and the role of color in aerodynamics, suggesting that black drones may be more energy-efficient.
