A Melbourne mum-of-three has described a traumatic incident that occurred while she was using a public bathroom at her son's ...

XI'AN -- In a breakthrough for bio-inspired robotics, a team of Chinese engineers has designed a robot that flaps its wings and is capable of autonomous takeoff, much like a bird. Named RoboFalcon2.0, ...

For those that thrive on “meaning” and the “securities” that come from dictionaries, here is a description: ...

A drone designed to imitate a peregrine falcon is protecting Australian fruit orchards from birds. The drone has been ...

Many people of faith are tired, but not because life is unusually hard. They are exhausted because they are running when God ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

The HydroBuckler robot shown here is driven by “leg” buckling to walk on water. Credit: Baoxing Xu, UVA School of Engineering and Applied Science. For billions of years, nature has been the world’s ...

Add a comment + Open annotations. The current annotation count on this page is being calculated. An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest ...

June 3, 2025, 4:26 PM · A perfect, rapid whole bow stroke is a beautiful coordination of speed, varying hand force from frog to tip, and control of bow angle by using circular motions of the shoulder, ...

FlapKine is a modular, PyQt5-based application designed for 3D visualization of forward and inverse kinematics in flapping-wing systems. Its hybrid architecture allows it to operate as both an ...

Abstract: Implementing ground target localization remains difficult for a flapping-wing flying robot (FWFR) owing to its intrinsically periodic flapping motion and low load capacity. In this article, ...

Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...
