Sensory systems and flight stability: What do insects measure and why?
In the absence of much passive stability, flying insects rely upon active stabilisation, necessitating the provision of rich sensory feedback across a range of modalities. Here we consider from a sensory perspective what quantities flying insects measure, in order to ask from a mechanical perspectiv...
