Many readers will remember the MetaFly, a remote-control robotic insect that flies by actually flapping its wings. Well, its ...

Inspired by the remarkable flight capabilities of birds, bats, and insects, flapping-wing robotics represents one of the most promising frontiers in bio-inspired aerial systems, demonstrating enhanced ...

Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and high maneuverability, making them highly practical for various applications. However, the ...

As an emerging frontier in biomimetic intelligent microsystems, insect-scale flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) demonstrate significant application potential due to their exceptional ...

It’s not very common that a robot the size of a paper clip is able to do ten flips in eleven seconds and keep on course within five centimeters, says Markus Waibel of Waibel Robotics in Zurich. But ...
