High-resolution outdoor videography of insects using Fast Lock-On tracking Fast Lock-On tracking enables recording trajectories and high-speed videos of insects behaving over large areas in the wild.

🐝✨ Fast Lock-On (FLO) tracking revolutionizes insect research! Using retroreflective markers and drones, it captures high-res flight paths of bees in natural habitats. FLO opens doors to decoding behaviors at kilometer scales, merging robotics with ecology.
