Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99% accuracy ...
Loons, gulls, puffins, and petrels are strange little acrobats. These birds plunge into water chasing fish, then burst back into the air and cruise at highway speeds. About 100 species of birds pull ...
Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.
