Robofly

The robot consists of a single folded carbon fiber sheet for each actuator unit, which greatly eases fabrication and assembly. Earlier functional designs all required assembling many separate and easy-to-lose parts. We also lowered the center of mass, giving it a new mode of locomotion! In addition to flying, it can use its wings to propel itself across the ground and on the surface of the water.
