Flapping-wing robots that mimic the flight mechanics of birds and insects are closing the control gap with conventional quadrotor drones, according to a cluster of recent peer-reviewed studies.

In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight.
