15、s. It can fly, stay on various surfaces catch and carry objects, just like the mighty falcon（隼）that was used as the source of inspiration in its development. Each leg of the SNAG has two motors, one for helping it move back and forth, and the other one for grasping. Twenty printing attempts were nec
16、essary for the robot to finally reach its current structure, but it was worth it. Now, according to researchers, the flying machine has an impressively strong and high-speed clutch（离合器），being able to land and wrap its claws around a branch in about 20 milliseconds. SNAG has ankles lock, and theres a
17、n accelerometer （加速计）on its right foot that reports that its landed while triggering（触发）a balancing process to stabilize it. Scientists have already conducted several tests with the robot in rural areas and on different surfaces. In all the situations, the SNAG was able to catch objects thrown by ha
18、nd, such as bean bags, a tennis ball, and more. As for the applications of the bird-like robot, the SNAG can get attached to drones（无人机）and be used for search and rescue missions, wildfire monitoring, to offer just a few examples. Another great application is environmental research, with the SNAG al
19、so featuring a temperature and humidity（湿度）sensor. By using a robot that can act like a bird, you can unlock new ways of studying the environment, as explained by William Roderick, mechanical engineer and one of the researchers involved in the project. Now scientists are moving on to improving the r

23、 be one disadvantage of the SNAG right now?AIt doesnt know its situation well.BIt cant fly fast enough in the air.CIt is easily broken by the branches.DIt cant catch objects with smooth surfaces.“Weve designed buildings for 100-year floods;” says Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, director of the Institute
24、for Health in the Built Environment. “But there will be another epidemic or another pandemic - or there might just be another flu season. Lets go ahead and learn to design for the 100-year flu. ”Public health officials agree that one of the simplest wys to prevent the indoor spread of the virus is t
25、o increase the amount of outside air that comes into our buildings. The simple act of opening a window can meaningfully reduce the concentration of infectious (感染的) particles in the air.But in many current office buildings, the windows arent operable. Creating a tight air seal in a building is one o
26、f the main strategies used to make buildings more energy-saving. So architects are now wrestling with how to increase air circulation without accelerating energy consumption. One solution, according to Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, is a special type of window design. This allows outside air to be warme
27、d or cooled, as needed, when it enters the building.Most current office buildings usually adopt open-plan offices, which are suitable for modern office work. But in time of pandemic, viruses spread easily among workers in the office. Rather than seal employees into individual hard-walled rooms, offi
28、ce designers can preserve the benefits of open-plan offices by fitting airflow systems that clean the air breathed out. For example, vents (通风口) can be installed at the top of the room to pull out the cloud of exhaled (呼出的) air and for fresh air to be delivered along the floor. This type of “biophil

In the long run, whats perhaps even more important is making whole env
