A team of scientists want to cover the Earth’s surface with micro-sensors that record temperature, humidity, and other weather data, which is why they decided to use an army of insects due to the difficulty of the task. High, to install it on the butterflies that are scattered around the world.
The design of a sensitive sensor that is resistant to breakage from a height of 100 meters and light in weight for the butterfly to fly with posed a great challenge, and the team’s research was published in the journal MobiCom 20, describing the sensor with accuracy and softness when falling.
“This strategy is used in disasters to deliver food and medical aid by using a large plane or helicopter,” said the engineer, Vikram Layer, assistant researcher from the university.
He added, “This is what prompted us to apply the idea to small drones or even insects to spread sensors over large areas.”
According to Digital Trends, scientists can disengage the sensor from a remote butterfly when it reaches a location that scientists want to monitor, and the team is currently focusing on weather monitoring sensors, but believes that the same method will be used in the future to spread similar technologies.
