Synergistic morphology and feedback control for traversal of unknown compliant obstacles with aerial robots

Abstract Animals traverse vegetation by direct physical interaction using their entire body to push aside and slide along compliant obstacles. Current drones lack this interaction versatility that stems from synergies between body morphology and feedback control modulated by sensing. Taking inspirat...
