Performance analysis of jump-gliding locomotion for miniature robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Mar 26, 2015
Recent work suggests that jumping locomotion in combination with a gliding phase can be used as an effective mobility principle in robotics. Compared to pure jumping without a gliding phase, the potential benefits of hybrid jump-gliding locomotion in...

Folding in and out: passive morphing in flapping wings.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Mar 25, 2015
We present a new mechanism for passive wing morphing of flapping wings inspired by bat and bird wing morphology. The mechanism consists of an unactuated hand wing connected to the arm wing with a wrist joint. Flapping motion generates centrifugal acc...

Ultraviolet in swallowtail butterflies: contrasted dorso-ventral evolution highlights a trade-off between natural and sexual selection on visual cues.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution Jun 14, 2025
The evolutionary dynamics of color pattern diversification in animals is strongly influenced by visual interactions within and among species. While much attention has been given to color pattern variation in the human-visible range, perception outsid...

Bioinspired adaptive visual servoing control for quadrotors.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 9, 2025
Since every flight ends in a landing and every landing is a potential crash, deceleration during landing is one of the most critical flying maneuvers. Here we implement a recently-discovered insect visual-guided landing strategy in which the divergen...

Reconstruction of Flight Parameters of a Bat for Flapping Robots.

Journal of biomechanical engineering May 1, 2022
The flight of bats is comparatively less documented and understood than birds and insects and may provide novel inspiration for the design of flapping flight robots. This study captured the natural flight of short-nosed fruit bats (Cynopterus sphinx)...

Mechanisms of collision recovery in flying beetles and flapping-wing robots.

Science (New York, N.Y.) Dec 4, 2020
At rest, beetles fold and tuck their hindwings under the elytra. For flight, the hindwings are deployed through a series of unfolding configurations that are passively driven by flapping forces. The folds lock into place as the wing fully unfolds and...
