Robots and UAVs photograph lions in the wild

A National Geographic photographer made use of robotic technology by deploying a MikroKopter UAV to provide a view of the Serengeti for a project in which he would capture never-before-seen images of lions in the wild. He also used a small, ground-level robot to follow the lions around and capture images and video of them in their natural habitat. The customized robot featured a heavy duty aluminum robot chassis and hardware, two gear motors driven by a chain and sprocket, and a remote camera with WiFi capabilities.
