  • Flying Insects and Robots

    Edited by Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Mandyam V. Srinivasan, Charlie Ellington ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Flying insects are intelligent micromachines capable of exquisite maneuvers in unpredictable environments. Understanding these systems advances our knowledge of flight control, sensor suites, and unsteady aerodynamics, which is of crucial interest to engineers developing intelligent flying robots or micro air vehicles (MAVs). The insights we gain when synthesizing bioinspired systems can in turn ... Read more
