The robot makes it possible to study bird landings in a way that can't be done with real birds.

该机器人使研究鸟类着陆的方式成为可能，而这种方式对真正的鸟类来说是无法做到的。

It's a bit like seeing a bird landing on the tree in your garden and you go, oh yes, I see the bird, yeah, great. I've got it, and then the bird flies away.

就像你看到一只鸟落在你花园里的树上，你会说，哦，嗯，我看到了那只鸟，是的。我记住了，然后鸟飞走了。

Scientists drew on the anatomy and flight data of peregrines and parrotlets to model bird landings, accounting for variables such as the angle and distance to an object.

科学家利用游隼和鹦鹉的解剖结构和飞行数据来模拟鸟类着陆，并考虑到物体的角度和距离等变量。
