Insect-inspired RoboFly

The RoboFly is an insect-inspired bugbot weighing just 150 milligrams with a breakthrough flight control and wind sensing system that uses accelerometers. Accelerometers measure the airspeed of a flying object by sensing drag-induced acceleration. The idea was inspired by observations that flies ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
