The shock-absorbing wings of the rhinoceros beetle battle in-flight collisions For centuries, humans have been fascinated by flight. Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) meshed his skills as an artist, biologist, and engineer to sketch designs for flying machines modeled after bird and bat anatomy. Today, multidisciplinary scientists work systematically from investigating biological prototypes to conducting flight performance tests on new bionic robots. On page 1214 of this issue, Phan and Park (1) describe how they used biology, robotics, and a little bit of art to design a new miniaturized micro air vehicle (MAV) that is bioinspired by the rhinoceros beetle (Allomyrina dichotoma). Their MAV mimics the beetle's hindwings, which have origami-like folds that allow the insect to recover from flight collision.

在甲虫翅膀上飞行的机器人的小型化

犀牛甲虫的减震翅膀与飞行中的碰撞战斗 几个世纪以来，人类一直对飞行着迷。列奥纳多·达·芬奇（Leonardo da Vinci，1452–1519 年）发挥了他作为艺术家、生物学家和工程师的技能，以鸟类和蝙蝠解剖结构为模型绘制了飞行机器的草图。今天，多学科科学家系统地工作，从研究生物原型到对新型仿生机器人进行飞行性能测试。在本期第 1214 页，Phan 和 Park (1) 描述了他们如何使用生物学、机器人技术和一点艺术来设计一种新型微型微型飞行器 (MAV)，该飞行器受犀牛甲虫 (Allomyrina dichotoma) 的生物启发。他们的微型飞行器模仿甲虫的后翅，后翅具有折纸般的褶皱，可以让昆虫从飞行碰撞中恢复过来。
