Flying insects are able to hover and perform agile maneuvers by relying on their flapping
wings to produce control forces, as well as flight forces, due to the absence of tail control …

Flying insects capable of navigating in highly cluttered natural environments can withstand
in-flight collisions because of the combination of their low inertia and the resilience of their …

Flying insects are remarkably agile and robust. As they fly through cluttered natural
environments, they can demonstrate aggressive acrobatic maneuvers such as backflip …

Designing a hummingbird-inspired, at-scale, tail-less flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle
(FWMAV) is a challenging task in order to achieve animallike flight performance under the …

In this letter, we present the untethered flight of an at-scale tailless hummingbird robot with
independently controlled wings. It represents the first untethered stable flight of a two …

Despite advances in localization and navigation, aerial robots inevitably remain susceptible
to accidents and collisions. In this letter, we propose a passive foldable airframe as a …

Insects and hummingbirds exhibit extraordinary flight performance and can simultaneously
master seemingly conflicting goals: stable hovering and aggressive maneuvering, which are …

Bats exhibit a remarkable ability to create periodic air jets, manifested as pulsating wake
structures downstream of their flight path, as they navigate through their fluidic environment …

Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) inspired by the nature are interesting flight
platforms due to their efficiency, concealment and agility. However, most studies have been …

In this paper, we propose a platform for an insect-like flapping winged micro aerial vehicle
with a resonant wing-driving system using extension springs (FMAVRES). The resonant …
