Bird's Eye View

This week we turn our attention to the technology that enables us to soar above the clouds to and zoom in close to our natural world. We meet Sacha, who conquered her debilitating fear of flying after realising her only chance of understanding a steep decline of swans, was to fly alongside them. Prepare to be amazed by the complex world of bio-inspired robotics, and the immensely intelligent engineers behind them, which can go where humans can’t; places that are inaccessible or dangerous and collecting samples, making measurements and delivering things to aid human innovation. We know, can almost hear the cogs turning in your brain, too. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode and let us know what you think on social media!
