SUTD researchers build robot that glides like a maple seed
Original: SUTD researchers develop robot that falls like a maple seed and sails like a boat
Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design have developed a small robot that spins down like a falling maple seed and can also sail across water. The design, described in a new science release, combines aerial descent with surface locomotion in a single lightweight device. Such bioinspired robots could be useful for environmental monitoring or distributed sensing, deploying from the air and moving across water.
Why now: A newly announced bioinspired robotics design combining falling and sailing modes is drawing attention for its novel engineering.
