The wing dynamics of flying animal species have been the inspiration for numerous flying robotic systems. While birds and bats typically flap their wings using the force produced by their pectoral and ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a micro-flapping-wing robot that exhibits flight characteristics and speeds similar to those of a bee. An AI-based, ...

Professor Park Hoon-cheol of Konkuk University's Department of Smart Vehicle Engineering, who developed a flapping-wing robot that mimics a beetle and can withstand collisions with obstacles without ...

(Nanowerk News) A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need ...

Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...

The new robot was developed for a specific science experiment; however, the construction will have wider uses in the field of aerial robotics. The device was constructed to improve scientific ...

Researchers have developed a method that allows a flapping-wing robot to land autonomously on a horizontal perch using a claw-like mechanism. The innovation could significantly expand the scope of ...

A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional motors and gears. A new drive ...

Scientists in China have built a falcon-inspired flying robot that can take off like a bird, offering new insights into the mechanics of avian flight and promising advances in bio-inspired aviation.

Researchers have developed teeny, tiny microrobots that might one day jump and flap their wings on far-off worlds. As part of his thesis, under the supervision of professor Claire Tomlin, University ...
