Check out Flybot, a +Google Science Fair project that uses biomimicry to enable flying robots used in search and rescue missions to evade moving threats. Created by 14 year old High School Freshman +Mihir Garimella, Flybot aims to create a simpler, faster, and more practical method of onboard threat evasion for flying robots, inspired by the way fruit flies detect and respond to dynamic threats. Mihir designed a computationally and physically lightweight sensor module, modeled after the fruit flys rudimentary but fast visual system and escape behaviors, and verified Flybot’s effectiveness both experimentally and through a still image comparison to fruit fly escape.
