Wasp waist a tail of abdominal flexion, sensing, actuation, and flight control
Meeting Abstract 136-8 Sunday, Jan. 8 15:15 – 15:30 Wasp waist: a tail of abdominal flexion, sensing, actuation, and flight control BUSTAMANTE, J*; JANKAUSKI, M; DANIEL, TL; University of Washington jorgebjr@uw.edu Recent research suggests that abdominal actuation during insect flight may contribute to control and stability via inertial redirection of flight forces. All hymenoptera within the suborder […]
