Inspired by the coordination of global motion and local shape adaptation in snakes, elephant trunks, and octopus arms, we propose a unified planning and control framework for mobile continuum robots in cluttered and confined environments. Existing approaches often address high-level path planning and local motion contr...

Flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) offer distinct advantages, including high thrust-to-weight ratios, low acoustic signatures, and superior maneuverability. Despite these benefits, the operational versatility of FWMAVs is strictly limited by the lack of robust takeoff mechanisms adaptable to diverse terrains....
