Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Morphy: A Compliant and Morphologically Aware Flying Robot
This study presents Morphy, a 25.2 cm‐wide, 260 g aerial robot with flexible, sensorized joints that enable it to withstand high‐speed collisions and squeeze through narrow spaces. Powered by an adaptive control scheme exploiting real‐time morphology feedback, Morphy demonstrates resilience in trajectory tracking, collision, and impact recovery and ...

PairTilt: Design and Control of an Active Tilt‐Rotor Quadcopter for Improved Efficiency and Agility
PairTilt is an actuated tilt‐rotor unmanned aerial vehicle capable of active shape reconfiguration, balancing simplicity, efficiency, and agility. Its H‐shaped frame incorporates pairwise tiltable rotors, which reduce gyroscopic torque and decouple key dynamics, enhancing maneuverability and reducing drag.

Bioinspired Design, Fabrication, and Wing Morphing of 3D‐Printed Magnetic Butterflies
Inspired by the remarkable flight of monarch butterflies, lightweight, 3D‐printed magnetic butterflies are fabricated that mimic natural wing morphing without embedded electronics. By varying size, vein patterns, and laser energy in powder bed fusion printing, how these factors enhance deformation efficiency is shown.

Using the agile adoption framework to assess agility and guide improvements [PDF]
Agility implies a set of principles that need to be followed in order to have the proposed responsiveness to change. This paper presents how the Agile Adoption Framework can be used to assess agility and pinpoint focus areas for companies that want to improve. Management found it useful in general to get data on possible focus points for improvement in
