US R&D team spent $ 1.5 million， after several years to develop a bat robot， which can soar in the air， complete energy-saving glide， if necessary， also able to dive， and there may be hovering around other UAVs.
According to the R&D team， "Able to imitate the unique flight of the bat， the flight performance of this 3-ounce （about 85 grams） aircraft in the disaster and the construction area will be safer and much more excellent than the ordinary UAVs. For example， Bat robots can become a great choice for disaster investigation after the leak of Fukushima nuclear power plant.
"This bats robot has nine joints， less than 8 inches （0.2 meters） from beginning to end， with a wing width of 1.5 feet （about 0.46 meters） when the wings are deployed， with a beat frequency of 10 times per second，" the developer said. The R&D team still needs to add a camera for the bats robot and is expected to be operational in 5 years.
