By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews – According to news reporting based on a preprint a bstract, our journalists obtained the followingquote sourced from biorxiv.org:“Millimeter-sized ripple bugs in the genus Rhagovelia exhibit exceptional agilit y and rapid maneuversin fast, unsteady streams, comparable to animal fliers. Th eir remarkable interfacial transit and turningskills stem from a specialized fa n structure on their middle legs. While researchers have suggested activefan ac tuation, the role of capillary forces and unique microstructure in self-spreadin g remains unclear.“We reveal that Rhagovelia\’s fans possess a flat-ribb on architecture with directional stiffness, enablingultrafast elastocapillary m orphing for passive actuation in under 10 ms, independent of muscle control,whi le producing high-thrust momentum through unsteady vortical wakes.
