Robotic bat wings could aid in the design of novel flapping aircraft, researchers say. Scientists built a robot that mimics the wing shape and motions of the lesser dog-faced fruit bat (Cynopterus ...
Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...
Flying robots have some big advantages over their ground-going counterparts, but they're definitely not very energy-efficient. An experimental new bot addresses that tradeoff by using a wing-assisted ...
(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 ...
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, ...
Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf have developed flexible ...
