Inside Unmanned Systems (Feb. 1) -- Soon-Jo Chung, an associate professor of aerospace engineering and Coordinated Science Laboratory researcher is developing a robotic falcon that chases birds away from airfields. “The premise here is to figure out how to reverse engineer bioinspired flight from the robotics standpoint,” Chung said. “How can we create a robotic falcon that can scare away real birds from the airfield? To achieve this goal, we have to understand bioinspired flights. It’s a complicated problem.”
