"Robotic Dinosaurs: Unraveling the Evolution of Feathers and Hunting Behavior"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists at Seoul National University have created robot dinosaurs resembling the Pennaraptora group to study the use of their feathered wings. The experiment confirmed that the wings were primarily used for gliding short distances and revealed insights into the hunting patterns of these creatures, similar to modern roadrunners. The robot dinosaurs were able to scare grasshoppers with their wing flapping, demonstrating the flush-pursuit foraging strategy. This experiment sheds light on the behavior of ancient dinosaurs and showcases the advancements in modern technological research.
