Amidst the various uses and functions today's robots already have, this next one is probably one of the most important ones. Accordingly, flying robots will be utilized by scientists to save humpback whales in Australia.

The said robots will do the function of doing an aerial survey and determine the exact population of the migrating humpbacks in the Land Down Under. Michael Noad of the University of Queensland had this to say:

Migrating humpbacks usually travel singly or in pairs, and often you just see their blows before they submerge again. They're spread out on a long migratory path so you have to cover a bit of ocean to find them.
