Dr. Mostafa Hassanalian, a mechanical engineering professor, is leading a unique project— fitting taxidermy birds with drones.
That scenario may soon be possible, thanks to researchers at New Mexico Tech, who have taken an unconventional approach to wildlife monitoring.
When he realized that those models did not provide the highest efficiency compared to actual birds, Hassanalian decided to give dead birds new life by turning them into drones. Dr. Mostafa Hassanalian, a mechanical engineering professor, is leading a unique project— fitting taxidermy birds with drones.A team at New Mexico Tech has found a way to use body parts to create realistic avian imposters, believing that the drones would aid wildlife monitoring.Because they are not yet able to fly their taxidermy birds with a real flock, the engineering team runs its experiments inside a drone cage with fake mechanical birds.
While other researchers think of a bird’s color as a way for attracting mates or camouflage, Herkenhoff is studying how color affects flight efficiency.
