18、e to fly around catching and carrying objects and perching (栖息) on various surfaces, according to a Stanford news release dated Dec. 1, 2021, describing the work.But copying the flexibility of birds wasnt easy to do. The researchers shot videos of small parrots flying back and forth between special

20、eet handle the variability and complexity of the surface texture itself,” he said.Giving a drone similar abilities required technological feat (技艺). SNAG has a 3D-printed structure that imitates an eagles lightweight bones, and each of its legs is equipped with a motor for moving back and forth and

21、a second one for grasping.Mechanisms in the robots legs are designed to absorb impact energy and passively change it into grasping force, the way that a birds muscles would. As a result, a drone equipped with the device can grasp something strongly in just 20 milliseconds. Once the robots feet are w

23、hang onto something. As this 2019 Smithsonian article explains, being able to land in various places helps drones to conserve energy that would expend by having to remain in the air. Thats important, because the flight time of robotic aircrafts is limited by their battery power.8. What inspired the

What makes the drones grabbing something strongly so quickly possible?A. The powerful battery.B. Their ability to imitate parrots taking off.C. The application of adva
