US engineers’ new wing design helps small robots fly longer by gliding like grasshoppers
Grasshopper’s gangly, awkward flight could solve the biggest power problems in robotics. Standard micro-bots are modeled ...
While much insight has been gleaned from how grasshoppers hop, their gliding prowess has mostly been overlooked. Now ...
Princeton engineers investigated the secret to grasshoppers' efficient gliding, inspiring a new approach for robotic flight.
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...
Sean Humbert is unlocking the biological secrets of the common housefly to make major advances in robotics and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). A professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical ...
About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...
