Hovering hummingbirds have inspired small flapping-wing aerial robots. Natural flyers, including hummingbirds and bats, undergo torsional wing deformation during flapping flight owing to complex wing structure, while previous artificial wings were relatively simple and difficult to design the torsional flexibility. In this paper, we proposed a hummingbird-bat hybrid (HBH) wing in which torsional f...
