For the biodegradable sensor glider, Empa researchers at the “Sustainability Robots” lab in Dübendorf used Java cucumber as a guide. With its transparent wings, the Asian ivy allows its seeds to be spread by the wind.
Like the original, the wingspan of the glider’s smart sensor seeds is 14 centimeters. The biological glider carries a sensor for environmental data instead of a seed. When a drone releases smart sensor seeds, they report data on soil moisture and acidity until they eventually break down and become one with the forest floor. With Bio-Glider, for example, forest floors can be explored sustainably.
Artificial helpers should one day repair buildings and measure environmental pollution in inaccessible areas. For these tasks, they need to be inspired by nature. According to Empa, biologically inspired flying objects still have to learn a lot from their role models in order to act independently in a complex environment.
