The natural world has inspired a lot of technological innovations, but it seems it could also be aiding in the design of future robots. A team from Duke University is researching dragonflies in order to better understand their complex flight dynamics and build better flying robots. How are they doing this? By attaching tiny sensors to their tiny subjects.
