In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft brought materials from the surface of the asteroid Bennu (pictured) safely back to Earth. The returned samples were then curated carefully, to prevent the ...

Aug. 24, 2025 Ripple bugs’ fan-like legs inspired engineers to build the Rhagobot, a tiny robot with self-morphing fans. By mimicking these insects’ passive, ultra-fast movements, the robot gains ...

Abstract: There are arguments about the scattering mechanism of the 10-dB periodic signal fluctuations posed by the repetitive flapping motion in radar ornithology. We design a dynamic measurement ...

Aviation history was made when the University of Toronto’s human-powered aircraft with flapping wings became the first of its kind to fly continuously. The “Snowbird” performed its record-breaking ...

Abstract: This work investigates cooperative dual-arm manipulation between two ornithopters in the post-perching phase. Flapping wing aerial systems are lightweight platforms designed to imitate bird ...
