New wing design helps tiny robots fly farther by gliding like grasshoppers
Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...
Grasshoppers may not spring to mind as paragons of graceful flight. But for a team of Princeton engineers, these gangly insects have inspired a new approach to robotic wings. Typical designs for ...
