"In January, we wrote about some spectacular research from UC Berkeley
exploring what happens when you give a little wheeled robot a
controllable tail, like a lizard. As it turns out, robots with tails can
fly through the air while maintaining their orientation, and now other
robotic platforms are testing out this technique, thanks to a
collaboration between UC Berkeley and the University of Pennsylvania."

Share and enjoy,
