- New understanding of fly behavior has potential application in robotics, public safetyon 26 Luglio 2024 at 15:34
Scientists have identified an automatic behavior in flies that helps them assess wind conditions — its presence and direction — before deploying a strategy to follow a scent to its source. The fact that they can do this is surprising — can you tell if there’s a gentle breeze if you stick your head out of a moving car? Flies aren’t just reacting to an odor with a preprogrammed response: they are responding in context-appropriate manner. This knowledge potentially could be applied to train more sophisticated algorithms for scent-detecting drones to find the source of chemical leaks.
