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

(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 ...

Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...

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 ...

The new robot was developed for a specific science experiment; however, the construction will have wider uses in the field of aerial robotics. The device was constructed to improve scientific ...

As we’re starting to get used to the idea of unmanned drones dropping deliveries on a regular basis, scientists are already working on changing them. How about watching a drone flap its wings on its ...

A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional motors and gears. A new drive ...

Researchers have developed a method that allows a flapping-wing robot to land autonomously on a horizontal perch using a claw-like mechanism. The innovation could significantly expand the scope of ...

Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) developed a new approach to model the dynamics of underwater stingray-like robots using Machine Learning. This approach can ...
