Agile perching maneuvers in birds and morphing-wing drones

Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest, Enrico Ajanic, Simon Jeger

Avian perching maneuvers are one of the most frequent and agile flight sce narios, where highly optimized flight trajectories, produced by rapid wing and tail morphing that generate high angular rates and accelerations, reduce kinetic energy at impact. Whi ...

Reinforcement Learning for Outdoor Balloon Navigation: A Successful Controller for an Autonomous Balloon

Simon Jeger, Mirko Kovac

Autonomous ballooning allows for energy-efficient long-range missions but introduces significant challenges for planning and control algorithms, due to their single degree of actuation: vertical rate control through either buoyancy or vertical thrust. Late ...

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 ...

Adaptive morphing of wing and tail for stable, resilient, and energy-efficient flight of avian-inspired drones

Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest, Simon Jeger, Charbel Toumieh

Avian-inspired drones feature morphing wing and tail surfaces, enhancing agility and adaptability in flight. Despite their large potential, realising their full capabilities remains challenging due to the lack of generalized control strategies accommodatin ...
