Over the past two decades, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as
drones, have gained a lot of attention, and are rapidly becoming ubiquitous because of their …

There are nearly a million known species of flying insects and 13 000 species of flying warm-
blooded vertebrates, including mammals, birds and bats. While in flight, their wings not only …

We present a scheme of how YOLO can be improved in order to predict the absolute
distance of objects using only information from a monocular camera. It is fully integrated into …

Background For a fruit fly, locating fermenting fruit where it can feed, find mates, and lay
eggs is an essential and difficult task requiring the integration of olfactory and visual cues …

Flying insects employ elegant optical-flow-based strategies to solve complex tasks such as
landing or obstacle avoidance. Roboticists have mimicked these strategies on flying robots …

In most sensory modalities the underlying physical phenomena are well understood, and
stimulus properties can be precisely controlled. In olfaction, the situation is different. The …

Flying animals often encounter winds during visually guided landings. However, how winds
affect their flight control strategy during landing is unknown. Here, we investigated how …

Powered flight was once a capability limited only to animals, but by identifying useful
attributes of animal flight and building on these with technological advances, engineers …

Monocular vision is increasingly used in micro air vehicles for navigation. In particular,
optical flow, inspired by flying insects, is used to perceive vehicle movement with respect to …

Estimating the direction of ambient fluid flow is a crucial step during chemical plume tracking
for flying and swimming animals. How animals accomplish this remains an open area of …
