34、ecome a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole

35、system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components, ” said robert wood, the harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. a few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “the added difficulty with a

36、project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own, ” he said. they engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “the seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on

37、 the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to, ” said wood. the flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. wood says the success of the project proves that the fly

38、ing robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured. while this first robotic fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or o

39、n the battlefield. “basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around, ” he said. wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “you can star

40、t thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, ” he said. “so there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drive us on a day to day basis. ”【文章大意】这是一篇说明文, 主要说明了哈佛大学的一组工程师受到大自然的启发, 创造了第一只机器苍蝇。文章还说明了设计这种机器苍蝇遇到的困难和该飞行装置的应用区域, 这种设计为研究飞行力学和昆虫控制提供了一种新方法。1. which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly? a. they did not have sufficient fund. b. no ready-made componen
