into the trajectories of hundreds of free-falling paper shapes can help inform the design of bio-inspired that mimic nature.
Toby Howison said: "If we are to design flying with complicated movements such as gliding or flapping, this requires some real-world experimentation.
"By researching the trajectories of hundreds of free-falling paper shapes, we have been able to study, analyse and interpret different types of falling behaviours in a new way...We can now transfer our learning of these behaviours to the design of soft robotics that walk or swim, for example."
