All About Robots: Penny-Sized Ionocraft, Caltech's LEg ON Aerial Robotic DrOne (LEONARDO), Smallest Legged Robot in Existence
Biological insects are masters of efficient small-scale flying. Insect-scale flying robots are usually designed by studying and recreating the structure, control and technique of biological insects. Generally labelled flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FMAVs) approach the size of real insects. One of the most impressive demonstration has been RoboBees by Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Making a tiny robot with flapping wings that can move in all of the degrees of Continue Reading...
