Abstract
Insect flight is now an active and well-integrated research area, attracting participation from a wide range of talents. Not only because nature has bred astonishing solutions to this complex real world challenges but also it offers us a perfect objective of biologically inspired engineering research, which could lead to a greater understanding of novel biomechanisms on the "intelligence" of a flying insect and a breakthrough for designing and building small-scale flying mechanical devices, namely, Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). This paper showcases our recent works associated with computational biomechanics with a specific focus on novel biomechanisms in insect flight and insect-inspired MAVs development.
