Robotic bird targets drones' biggest aerodynamic shortcoming

The findings, published across two papers in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface ( 1 and 2 ), show that a vertical gust of the same magnitude as a horizontal one generates between 25 and 100 times more lift variat...

Funding matters here because robotics categories that need hardware, integration, and long deployment cycles still depend on patient capital, not just model hype.
