11、 on a telephone wire. Ready for takeoff, it raises its wings, springs into the air and flaps away. This series of actions is so common that you probably do not pay it much attention. But University of Manchester bioinechanical engineer Ben Parslew does. He is trying to design robots that can jump li
12、ke birds.Most conventional robots roll around on wheels, limiting mobility. There is a need for more agile robots that can jump over obstacles in messy environments, Parslew says. To design such a machine, he turned to nature: Birds are really good jumpers, he notes.The trouble is, when birds start
13、to take off, they lean so far forward that they should tip over and fall onto their beaks(喙). Yet that does not happen. Parslew and his team used computer modeling to discover how birds avoid this fate. They discovered that birds twist their bodies slightly towards the back while accelerating into a
14、 jump. They also have flexible legs and toe joints, which prevent them from taking off briefly and immediately crashing into the ground. The result were published last October in Royal Society Open Science.Parslew thinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well
15、 but also launch into flight more. efficiently. University of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs and levers(杠杆)enable more rapid acceleration-than wheels do. And many animals are masters of springs and levers.“If you can understand how that works,”Habib
