Analyzing the complexity of bat flight to inspire the design of flapping-flight drones
… the many degrees of freedoms present in biology. Hence, to make design choices of which properties in a bats wing kinematics should be reproduced, the present research has evaluated two metrics from information and complexity theory to identify which regions of the bat flight apparatus …
