A new autonomous drone system could provide ecologists with deeper insights into animal behavior in the wild, a study suggests.

Drones, or unmanned aerial systems (UAS), are often used to collect massive amounts of high-quality aerial footage of unique places.

While most of these state-of-the-art technologies rely on human pilots to operate them, researchers have developed WildWing, a complete hardware and software open-source UAS for independently collecting dense animal behavioral data.
