I'm kind of surprised by how cute the flies look bonking their heads against the sealing

@bruh-vr6xl

Just interview that fly and ask how do they land upside down haiyaaaa

@Gulgathydra

It looks like that one fly bonks his head, but really -- it's crashing into the ceiling eyeball first

@notthatserious480

Scientist: So tell me how exactly do you choose to land?

Fly: ehh depends on how I feel and the situation yk?

It amazes me how insects just be doin this stuff by vibes alone and there’s no one size fits all formula.

@breakingintobusiness4375

Damn this is pretty fly for a science guy

@jakeandrews8393

So basically, exactly how I would survive in the international space station

@massimookissed1023

This will help build more effective slaughterbots. Yay.

@DiannaCarney

I’m shocked it took so long for us to explore this , or at least for scientist too! Makes you wonder & realize how much we really don’t know still about the world around us.

@elicarlson7682

Love the flight of the bumblebee in the background

@michaelbruz6452

So y'all just gonna ignore the fact that they're researching this in order to create fly robots??? That's scary

@elgirl19

The flies have cameras in their eyes

@aziz7323

The way the fly knocked her head and fell Lol
It only needs some dramatic music and the we can call it:
"The Downfall of a Fly"

@gerrard1144

Video: is about flies landing upside down
Music: flight of the bumblebee

@MisterRorschach90

Apparently studying bugs to see how we can use their knowledge is a big deal for modern science. My old roommate did a thesis studying ant colonies and how they are built and used characteristics of their methods in an algorithm to make building and civil engineering safer. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten all the important details, but it was so weird to hear about. How they studied the ant colonies for years and applied how they built their hills and moved around them to an algorithm that is used in planning sewage systems and park systems. Not exactly what I would’ve chosen for my thesis, but oh well.

@varunnikam

Finally the question is answered i had it in my mind since long 😵‍💫

@dragontamer1012

I guess you could say that the flies just...wing it.

@ryanrinn4041

That's pretty cool. I love slow motion shots.

@YB0963

So they're really gonna bring Black Mirror's "Hated in the nation" episode to life.

@JeanMarceaux

Teaching our robots complex maneuvers so they can have a definite edge exterminating us all later.

@jonsmith5058

They did this with planes and large birds.
You know those triangle things at the ends of plane wings, they are based on the fact that large birds have a similar shape there when flying.

I can’t remember the specifics but it creates a vortex of some kind. I think they just mimicked it at first, and saw it worked without totally understanding why.
