That dedicated app (Apple iOS only, linked via wifi) not only controls the suspension, but adjusts torque to the drive wheel, tweaks power-to-efficiency ratios and even lets the rider flip-proof the bike by setting a maximum climb angle, as measured by a 3D accelerometer in the front fork.
Average maximum climbing speed was assessed by selecting the 10 fastest flies from each sample group.
The increase in average climbing velocity was also reflected by a higher maximum climbing velocity for aged dGS-RNAi expressing flies (Fig. 6E,F).
The three motion constraints mentioned before are the maximum curvature (({kappa _{mathrm{max}}})), the maximum torsion (({tau _{mathrm{max}}})) and the maximum climb (or dive) angle (({theta _{mathrm{max}}})) that are realizable by the robot in the three-dimensional space.
By contrast, aged males showed a higher average and maximum climbing speed than control GFP-expressing flies (e>GFP, Fig. 6C and Movies S1– S1).
Moreover, the maximum climbing angle of frogs can be used as useful information when designing an amphibian ladder.
Generated paths must satisfy three main constraints: (i) maximum curvature, (ii) maximum torsion and (iii) maximum climb (or dive) angle.
The method takes into account three major motion constraints of a fixed-wing UAV in the three-dimensional space: maximum curvature, maximum torsion and maximum climb angle, but with special emphasis on the cases of limited climb (or dive) rates.
Fixed-wing aircrafts present also other limitations on their mobility such as maximum climb or dive angles and minimum speed.
Our flies tended to dive faster than they climbed, with a maximum descent rate (−2.4 ms−1) almost double the maximum climb rate (1.2 ms−1.2
