Baleka: A Bipedal Robot for Studying Rapid Maneuverability
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2020 In nature animals are highly adapted to perform rapid maneuvers. However, these maneuvers have generally been avoided by robotics researchers due to the complex (and poorly-understood) dynamics they entail.

Stability versus maneuverability in hovering flight [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 2015 Insects and birds are often faced by opposing requirements for agile and stable flight. Here, we explore the interplay between aerodynamic effort, maneuverability, and stability in a model system that consists of a Λ-shaped flyer hovering in a vertically oscillating airflow.

High Maneuverability Lenticular Airship [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents and describes a new lenticular shaped airship that allows 3D omnidirectional movements. The airship is intended to be part of a cooperative aerial system based in the synergy between an airship and a group of micro-quad rotors capable of long time missions as environmental, biodiversity monitoring, WiSAR missions, road monitoring ...
