Article Synopsis
- Insects are highly skilled flyers, but studying their flight control can be challenging using traditional methods like animal experiments or tethered robots.
- Researchers created a programmable, agile robot with flapping wings that can replicate the quick escape maneuvers of fruit flies, despite being significantly larger in size.
- The robot's design reveals that certain aerial maneuvers, like yaw rotations, are influenced by aerodynamic forces, providing new ways to study animal flight for practical applications.
