Abstract in brief

  • Mosquitoes use a form of active sensing involving airflow detection to avoid obstacles when they can't see, by perceiving changes in airflow patterns near surfaces.
  • Researchers used computer simulations and high-speed flight measurements to understand how mosquitoes detect these airflow changes through their antennae.
  • This biological insight inspired the development of a drone equipped with a simple, low-power aerodynamic sensing system, demonstrating potential for safer, autonomous flying vehicles.]
