This paper provides insight into the wing kinematics,the power requirement and the dynamic stability characteristics of a hawkmoth model in vertically ascending flight.The wing kinematics of the hawkmoth model is obta...
This paper presents the application of an artificial neural network to develop an approach to determine and study the energy-optimal wing kinematics of a hovering bionic hawkmoth model.A three-layered artificial neura...

The geographical distribution of pollinators is an important factor determining the biogeographical pattern of floral evolution and diversification.In Africa,a guild of plant species has converged in a floral syndrome...
To study wing-wake interaction for various wing flexibilities, force measurements and digital particle image velocimetry were carried out on flapping hawkmoth-like wings in a water tank. Wing thickness was employed as...
