A bird's wings are articulated to its body via highly mobile shoulder joints. The joints confer an impressive range of motion, enabling the wings to make broad, sweeping movements that can modulate quite dramatically the production of aerodynamic loa...

Seeing with sound; surface detection and avoidance by sensing self-generated noise (2023)
Journal Article

Here, we demonstrate obstacle and secondary drone avoidance capability by quadcopter drones that can perceive and react to modulation of their self-generated acoustic environment when in proximity to surfaces. A ground truth for the interpretation of... Read More about Seeing with sound; surface detection and avoidance by sensing self-generated noise.
