Scientists combine #evolution, #physics, and #robotics to decode #insect #flight
Winged #insects have been around for nearly 400 million years, and the evolution of flight in different insect species influences things like how insects flap their wings, what makes some insects highly maneuverable, and how their flight muscles work. A new study has used a mix of evolutionary analysis and robotic model wings to better understand how different flight modes operate. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/10/scientists-combine-evolution-physics-and-robotics-to-decode-insect-flight/
