Aerial robot ALBATROSS spins like a falling maple seed before landing softly on water and transforming into a wind-driven sailboat in a new demonstration of hybrid robotic technology.
Developed by Shane Kyi Hla Win and colleagues, the bio-inspired robot is designed to operate in both air and water while using only three actuators and three primary sensors for autonomous navigation.
