Avian-Inspired Claws Enable Robot Perching or Walking

Dario Floreano, William John Stewart, Won Dong Shin, Mohammad Askari

Multimodal unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rarely capable of more than two modalities, i.e., flying and walking or flying and perching. However, being able to fly, perch, and walk could further improve their usefulness by expanding their operating enve ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Dario Floreano, William John Stewart, Raphael Zufferey, Mohammad Askari, Simon Jeger, Omar Aloui

Flying robots are becoming increasingly widespread, not only as remote‐vision agents but also as tools capable of physically interacting with our world. As robots fly closer to obstacles, the likelihood of collision rises. While collision resilience soluti ...

Crash-perching on vertical poles with a hugging-wing robot

Auke Ijspeert, Dario Floreano, Hoang Vu Phan, Mohammad Askari

Perching with winged Unmanned Aerial Vehicles has often been solved by means of complex control or intricate appendages. Here, we present a method that relies on passive wing morphing for crash-landing on trees and other types of vertical poles. Inspired b ...
