Particle guidance by the flapping of flightless silkworm moths was quantified by computational fluid dynamic analyses. (a) The flapping silkworm moths were filmed by two high-speed cameras (1,000 fps) ...

Robots helped achieve a major breakthrough in our understanding of how insect flight evolved. The study is a result of a six-year long collaboration between roboticists and biophysicists. Robots built ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati are developing a drone with flapping wings that can locate and hover around a moving light like a moth to a flame. UC College of Engineering and Applied ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.
