Scientists built a robotic dinosaur to terrify grasshoppers, all in hopes of understanding how truly pathetic wings could offer prehistoric animals an evolutionary advantage A grasshopper flees in response to the folding movement of Robopteryx's hypothetical proto-wing display. The grasshopper's escape behaviour is triggered by the hypothetical flush-display executed by the robot. The white arrow in the video indicates the grasshopper's position before the jump. This is a 960 fps video at 1/12 speed. Jinseok Park, Piotr Jablonski https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/robotic-dinosaur-tests-how-dinos-and-birds-got-wings/
