Robots may get their wings with a little help from bats. According to a new study published in the journal Physics of Fluids, researchers observed how bats flap their wings to gain inspiration for ...

In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight.

Researchers have designed flexible, bat-like wings that boost lift and improve flight performance. This innovation could lead to more efficient drones or energy-harvesting technologies. In 1934, ...

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 ...

Inspired by the remarkable flight capabilities of birds, bats, and insects, flapping-wing robotics represents one of the most promising frontiers in bio-inspired aerial systems, demonstrating enhanced ...
