SUMMARY:Aeromechanics of Bat Flight: From Live Animals to Robotic Models
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Kenny Breuer\, Brown University\nHosted by: Rama Bans
	il\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/get/041216-Breuer.pdf\n\n
	Part of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nThe elegance and maneuv
	erability of bats during flight is unparalleled in both the natural and the
	 man-made world\, and they serve as a source of inspiration for scientists 
	trying to understand the evolution of flight and for engineers designing hi
	ghly agile Micro Air Vehicles. We have been exploring this rich research ar
	ea for several years with studies ranging from live animal flights to instr
	umented robotic wings\, In this talk we will discuss several aspects of bat
	 flight mechanics and energetics\, including characteristics of their fligh
	t performance\, the role played by their compliant wing membrane and articu
	lated skeleton\, and the structure of the wake
