Why Scientists Aim To Make A Drone Nearly As Small As A Mosquito
网页2021年3月4日 · Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are trying to match the flexibility and resilience of an insect with a more muscular generation of mini-drones.
Researchers introduce a new generation of tiny, agile drones
网页2021年3月2日 · MIT researchers developed an insect-size drone with soft actuators — akin to muscles — that are agile and resilient to collisions. The advance could boost aerial robots’ repertoire, allowing them to operate in cramped spaces and withstand collisions.
The stealthy little drones that fly like insects - BBC
网页2020年4月20日 · Animal Dynamics has spent four years writing software that operates the hand-launched drone like an insect and allows it to hover in gusts of more than 20 knots (23mph or 37km/h).
Bug off: US military planning winged, insect-like microdrone
网页2021年6月18日 · The US military has ordered the development of tiny microdrones, whose shape and flapping wing movements will replicate insect flight. The super-small craft will provide incredible stealth in information gathering, and surveillance missions intended to really bug enemies.

网页2021年3月1日 · Chen, a member of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Research Laboratory of Electronics, has developed insect-sized drones with unprecedented dexterity and resilience. The aerial robots are powered by a new class of soft actuator, which allows them to withstand the physical travails of real-world flight.
MIT’s insect-sized drones are built to survive collisions
网页2021年3月2日 · New drone models, which the lab describes as resembling, “a cassette tape with wings,” are built with soft actuators, made from carbon nanotube-coated rubber cylinders.
Watch this mosquito-inspired drone light up and avoid a crash
网页2020年5月7日 · The researchers filmed Culex quinquefasciatus, a mosquito that transmits Zika and West Nile viruses, flying at different distances from the ground or a wall. The many thousands of resulting images helped the group visualize how air moves off the insect's long, slender wings and how that flow changes as the mosquito moves closer to …
