Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

A linear systems analysis of the yaw dynamics of a dynamically scaled insect model [PDF]

, 2010
Recent studies suggest that fruit flies use subtle changes to their wing motion to actively generate forces during aerial maneuvers. In addition, it has been estimated that the passive rotational damping caused by the flapping wings of an insect is ...

Analysis and Fabrication of Unconventional Flapping Wing Air Vehicles [PDF]

International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles, 2015
ßRecently, numerous research groups are actively studying the design of the flapping wing air vehicles (FWAV). The FWAV was inspired by flying birds and insects. The lift and thrust forces are simultaneously generated from the flapping motion. The FWAV design is classified into either a biomimetic design or a biomorphic design.

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

Petiolate wings: effects on the leading-edge vortex in flapping flight [PDF]

, 2017
The wings of many insect species including crane flies and damselflies are petiolate (on stalks), with the wing planform beginning some distance away from the wing hinge, rather than at the hinge.
