Flying robot bats are now a thing! Kim Horcher and Milynn Sarley break it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!
"The flying fox joins a zoo’s worth of robotic creatures, including octopus tentacles, herring gulls, a chill little kangaroo, way less-chill insect swarms, flying penguin blimps and giant mechanical butterflies. With a 7.5-foot wingspan, I wouldn’t want this thing descending on me from the skies, but it seems friendly enough."
