The longitudinal steady-state control for going from hovering to small speed flight of a model insect is studied, using the method of computational fluid dynamics to compute the aerodynamic derivatives and the techniques based on the linear theories of stability and control for determining the non-...

Flying insects that transmit human, animal, and plant pathogens have global impacts on human health, agriculture, and ecological stability1,2. Eighty percent of the world’s population is vulnerable to vector-borne diseases, which account for ca.17% of all infectious diseases and kill over 700,...
Hovering drone fly · Lateral motion · Flight stability · Stabilization control · Modal analysisOur previous study shows that the lateral disturbance motion of a model drone fly does not have inherent stability (passive stability), because of the existence of an unstable divergence mode. But ...
With fewer legs, such as in bipedal or quadrupedal robots, the locomotion pattern implies that whenever the robot is walking, its stability decreases during the leg transfer phase: a bipedal robot will have to stay stable with only one leg, and a quadrupedal robot is inherently unbalanced ...
That LW2b is ocelli-specific opsin is consistent with a potential role in flight stability and/or horizon detection in flying insects. We hypothesize that life history and transition to a terrestrial environment in fly larvae was a driving force in opsin evolution in Diptera and could explain ...
Scaling a flying robot down to the size of a fly or bee requires advances in manufacturing, sensing and control, and will provide insights into mechanisms used by their biological counterparts. Controlled flight at this scale has previously required external cameras to provide the feedback to regul...
