Whenever we think of flying mammals, there’s only one which comes to our mind – the bat! No wonder that they have been an inspiration for designers.
Most of the research projects are normally government initiatives in the field of military or healthcare and eventually find different uses. This time, they have come up with a solar powered spy-cam. Take a look – move the slider to get a perspective of how this looks in nature and in design!
The wingspan of the bat is similar in size to small solar panels/cells. There are some concepts being tested, including small cameras for stereo-vision, a set of mini-microphones that can track sounds from different directions, and even small sensors for nuclear radiation and poisonous gases!
