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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Engineers have long sought to unlock the secrets behind insects' uncanny flight abilities and agility in hopes of creating a new class of tiny yet capable flying robots. These flapping ...

Next time you look up at the sky at a flock of birds, pay close attention. They might not be what you think they are. Scientists at New Mexico Tech are using birds preserved by taxidermy and turning ...

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 ...

Four flapping-wing drones developed by a research team at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB), which feature eagle, pigeon, butterfly and beetle imitations, have recently gained ...
