Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...

The study of bio-inspired flapping flight and the dynamics of micro air vehicles (MAVs) has grown into a vibrant interdisciplinary field, merging insights from insect biomechanics, aerodynamics and ...

Durability is a defining feature of the X Fly. Its design incorporates shock absorbers that protect internal components from the impact of sudden landings or collisions. Additionally, the flexible ...

Birds, bats, and bees all use distinct muscles to deploy and retract their wings. Smaller insects, given the less space available, may be different and scientists are still debating if they use indeed ...
