In this Research Topic, we aim to highlight the current and future utilization of soft and morphologically adaptive structures in aerial robot related applications. The research topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Soft, Reconfigurable, Morphable, and Metamorphic Aerial Robots
Multi-modal mobility across terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic environments in aerial robotics
Improving maneuverability and flight efficiency of soft aerial flyers
Adaptive landing and collision in soft aerial robots
Soft aerial robots for manipulation, perching, and energy management in complicated environments
Bio-inspired aerial construction and nest
Bio-hybrid aerial robots
Biodegradable and environmentally friendly aerial robots
Self-regenerating and self-healing in aerial robots
Bio-inspired aerial robots to understand animal behavior
