Researchers have developed a large ornithopter with a bird-inspired jumping mechanism that enables autonomous takeoff without external assistance. The system can reset itself after landing, monitor ...
A bird banking in a crosswind doesn't rely on spinning blades. Its wings flex, twist and respond instantly to its environment. Engineers at Rutgers University have taken a major step toward building ...
In this computer-generated flight sequence, the ornithopter’s wings beat without any gears or motors—powered instead by thin piezoelectric actuators that flex the entire structure. A bird banking in a ...
