Compared to wingless insects, pterygote insects profit from numerous wing‐related benefits
including a wider distribution range, the exploitation of various food resources and the …

Intelligence of physical agents, such as human-made (eg, robots, autonomous cars) and
biological (eg, animals, plants) ones, is not only enabled by their computational intelligence …

The cuticle exoskeleton plays a key role in facilitating the evolutionary success of insects.
Since the mid of the last century, many different biomechanical properties of exoskeletons …

Due to the increasing pressure brought by recent global environmental problems, building
designers are embracing regionalism and the knowledge of traditional structures, arguing …

Insect wings can passively maintain a high angle of attack during each flapping stroke
without the aid of the active pitching motion due to the torsional flexibility of the wing basal …

In insects, cuticle proteins interact with chitin and chitosan of the exoskeleton forming
crystalline, amorphic or composite material structures. The biochemical and mechanical …

Simple Summary One of the main bottlenecks in studying the flight of insects is automatically
measuring the motion of their body and wings. Here, we report a computer vision algorithm …

The shape and function of insect wings tremendously vary between insect species. This
review is engaged in how wing design determines the aerodynamic mechanisms with which …

In many insect species, the thoracic exoskeletal structure plays a crucial role in enabling
flight. In the dipteran indirect flight mechanism, thoracic cuticle acts as a transmission link …

Miniature flapping drones can potentially operate in small spaces, using lightweight
membranous wings. Designing these flexible wings appropriately is crucial for effective flight …
