US engineers’ new wing design helps small robots fly longer by gliding like grasshoppers
Researchers at Princeton University have developed a new model for insect-scale robots inspired by ...
About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...
While much insight has been gleaned from how grasshoppers hop, their gliding prowess has mostly been overlooked. Now ...
CNN: Kathryn Daltorio, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, lends her expertise to the discussion of how scientists are learning more from insects in the development of robots, including ...
