Let the robot insect land and take off on the wall Utilizing hybrid power layout with flying–climbing transition control to complete biological behavior

A team of researchers from Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics developed a bionic robot that can complete smooth movement, including landing on a vertical wall, climbing along the wall, and taking off from the wall. The robot uses a flapping/rotor hybrid power layout to mimic insect's control of body posture.
