A prototype bot from engineers at the University of Bristol flies like an insect and looks like the golden snitch.
Most living organisms use soft, muscle-based systems to move. Octopuses and spiders don’t need heavy motors or metal gearboxes to swivel their bodies and walk from one place to another.
Flying micro-robots tend to have an indirect connection between the power system and the wings, segmented by components like motors, gears, elastics, or some kind of lever mechanism. But that’s not really the way wings connect in insects and birds. This is where a new system called LAZA flies into the picture—that stands for liquid-amplified zipping actuators. This system can be directly joined to a flying appendage.
