(期中·河北区)Robots are becoming more and more common in our world. They can look very different. Some have legs and can walk, and some look like small planes and can fly. The flying ones are called drones(无人机).
Andy Rogan is an animal scientist and he studies whales(鲸). He now works near the Azores—islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. He uses a drone for his work and it is named SnotBot. SnotBot has an important job. It collects information about whales.
When Andy finds a whale, he flies SnotBot close to the animal. SnotBot carries a petri dish(培养皿). When the whale’s snot(鼻涕) comes out, SnotBot flies over the animal, and quickly collects it. He says that whale snot is like seawater and smells fishy. It helps him know which whale it is, so he can learn more about the whale population. SnotBot also carries a camera, so it can take photos of the big sea animals.
Andy and SnotBot aren’t alone. Around the world, people are using drones to help protect wildlife. It can be expensive to study animals because some useful machines cost a lot. Drones can help make this work cheaper. Andy’s team hopes that flying robots like SnotBot can help keep animals safe and healthy everywhere.
