Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

New research decoding insect wing dynamics could enable highly stable flapping robots, improving micro-drone control, ...

A new study from Cornell University is shedding light on one of nature’s most complex feats — flight — and could open the ...

One of the largest and strongest beetles in the world hardly seems the best inspiration for a delicate flying microbot. But using slow-motion cameras to capture the critters in flight, an ...

A teeny robot designed to replicate the wing dynamics of rhinoceros beetles could be well-suited for search-and-rescue missions, as well as spying on real insects, according to researchers at ...

Insects are thought to use specific chest muscles to actively open and close their wings. However, high-speed imaging reveals that rhinoceros beetles flap their hindwings to deploy them for flight, ...
