Discusses how scientists have used the wings of insects as patterns for flyng robots.

Flying insects are intelligent micromachines capable of exquisite maneuvers in unpredictable environments. Understanding these systems advances our knowledge of

This book demonstrates how bio-inspiration can lead to fully autonomous flying robots without relying on external aids. Most existing aerial robots fly in open

This book introduces the topics most relevant to autonomously flying flapping wing robots: flapping-wing design, aerodynamics, and artificial intelligence. Read

In the last decade, roboticists have had significant success building centimeter-scale flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) inspired by the flight of in
