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 ...

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 ...

Birds, bats, and bees all use distinct muscles to deploy and retract their wings. Smaller insects, given the less space available, may be different and scientists are still debating if they use indeed ...
