Researchers at the University of Washington developed small robotic devices that can change how they move through the air by "snapping" into a folded position during their descent. Shown here is a timelapse photo of the "microflier" falling in its unfolded state, which makes it tumble chaotically and spread outward in the wind. Photo by Mark Stone/University of Washington By Roger Van Scyoc On a cool afternoon at the heart of the University of Washington's campus, autumn, for a few fleeting moments, appears to have arrived early. Tiny golden squares resembling leaves f...
At the University of Washington, scientists have come up with a small robotic device that has the potential to alter how they move via the air by so-called “snapping” into a folded position during their descent.
Researchers at the University of Washington developed small robotic devices that can change how they move through the air by "snapping" into a folded position during their descent. Each device has an onboard battery-free actuator, a solar power-harvesting circuit and controller to trigger these shape changes in mid-air.
