It could be used for further research into nature or even to prevent fires. The claws allow the robot to carry objects and also to land and perch on a wide range of surfaces. With a heat sensor, for example, the robot was able to provide valuable data for studying the weather in Oregon. It could therefore be used to monitor fires and potentially help to carry out search and rescue missions. "If we could have a robot that could act like a bird, that could unlock completely new ways of studying the environment," he went on.
