By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – Current study results on robotics have been published. According to news reporting from Stanford, California, by NewsR x journalists, research stated, “Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yetthey fl y stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer.”Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Stanford University: “I n contrast, nearly allairplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll oscillat ions and to control yaw. The few exceptions thatlack a vertical tail either lev erage differential drag-based yaw actuators or their fixed planforms are carefully tuned for passively stable Dutch roll and proverse yaw. Biologists hypothesiz e that birds stabilize andcontrol gliding flight without rudders by using their wing and tail reflexes, but no rudderless airplane hasa morphing wing or tail that can change shape like a bird. Our rudderless biohybrid robot, PigeonBot II,can damp its Dutch roll instability (caused by lacking a vertical tail) and con trol flight by morphing itsbiomimetic wing and tail reflexively like a bird.”
