• The biophysics of bird flight: functional relationships integrate aerodynamics, morphology, kinematics, muscles and sensors (2015, background): “Optic flow is the movement of visual features across the eye, and studies of insects indicate that perception of optic flow is critical for controlling several aspects of flight (Srinivasan et al. 1999; Taylor and Krapp 2007).”
• Fixed-wing MAV attitude stability in atmospheric turbulence—Part 2: Investigating biologically-inspired sensors (2014, background): “Sensor fusion is evident in animals, where birds and insects employ different transducers feeding the same sensory system, which in return, signals the control system [112].”
