A tiny micro-robotic insect wing hangs off the front of a circuit board. The idea of being a “fly on the wall” in an enemy headquarters has been a goal of intelligence agencies for as long as there ...
As an emerging frontier in biomimetic intelligent microsystems, insect-scale flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) demonstrate significant application potential due to their exceptional ...
Insect wings represent a pivotal evolutionary innovation that has underpinned the remarkable radiation of the Insecta. This field, at the intersection of evolution and developmental biology (evo-devo) ...
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 ...
Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, inspired by insects, now show flight skills close to the real thing. In lab ...
In a remarkable scientific achievement, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the intricate biomechanics of insect wings, with a particular focus on the wing hinge mechanism of ...
