Robotic bat wings could aid in the design of novel flapping aircraft, researchers say. Scientists built a robot that mimics the wing shape and motions of the lesser dog-faced fruit bat (Cynopterus ...

Recently, we've seen a robotic ostrich. Now, there’s a robot bat – or at least, part of one. Joseph Bahlman, a graduate student at Brown University, with the help of Professors Kenneth Breuer and ...

Bat wings are like hands: meaty, bony and full of joints. A new study finds that bats take advantage of their flexibility by folding in their wings on the upstroke to save inertial energy. The ...
