Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...
One of the largest and strongest beetles in the world hardly seems the best inspiration for a delicate flying microbot. But using slow-motion cameras to capture the critters in flight, an ...
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 ...
A teeny robot designed to replicate the wing dynamics of rhinoceros beetles could be well-suited for search-and-rescue missions, as well as spying on real insects, according to researchers at ...
An insect-scale robot from MIT performs agile flight maneuvers using a neural-network controller, surpassing previous ...
