Flying insects require mechanosensory feedback to rapidly generate compensatory
responses to unexpected perturbations. Such feedback is critical in insects such as moths …

The halteres of flies are mechanosensory organs that serve a crucial role in the control of
agile flight, providing sensory input for rapid course corrections to perturbations. Derived …

When taking off from a sloping surface, flies have to reorient themselves dorsoventrally and
stabilize their body by actively controlling their flapping wings. We have observed that …

This paper presents a three-axis biomimetic gyroscope, mimicking the haltere of Diptera.
Diptera use a club-shaped mechanosensory organ called the haltere to get the three-axis …

Nature has evolved a beautiful design for small-scale vibratory rate-gyro in the form of
dipteran halteres that detect body rotations via Coriolis acceleration. In most Diptera …

Nature has evolved a beautiful design for small‐scale vibratory gyroscopes in the form of
halteres located in the metathorax region of the dipteran flies that detect body rotations …

Flying insects are known for their fast and robust control while being challenged with
sensory delays, an unsteady environment and by having limited computation power. One …
