Forest canopies are the biggest habitat for terrestrial life, yet our understanding of environmental processes and biodiversity inside the canopy continues to be limited due to labour and resource intensive data collection. Existing aerial and climbing robots also struggle to access these complex environments, while animals easily navigate them using multiple means of locomotion. Following this in...
