  • Machine learning and robotics have shed new light on one of the most sophisticated skeletal structures in the animal kingdom: the insect wing hinge.
    Unlike birds or bats, which evolved wings by adapting existing limbs, insect wings are wholly original appendages, and understanding how the complex hinge that links the insect wing to its body works has been a challenge.
    But now a team of researchers have combined cutting edge imaging, machine learning and robotics to build a model that is shedding new light on the structure.

      These models are trying to reproduce the aerodynamics but not all of the details of the wing. So they make the wing out of Plexiglas or some other plastic, and instead of air use water. When it is done correctly, then the flapping of a large wing in water closely matches the flapping of a tiny wing in the air.
