Delicate landings
Thanks to Dutcher.
The article
here.
MIT researchers have demonstrated a new control system that allows
a foam glider with only a single motor on its tail to land on a perch, just like
a pet parakeet. The work could have important implications for the design of
robotic planes, greatly improving their maneuverability and potentially allowing
them to recharge their batteries simply by alighting on power lines.
