“This paper presents a bioinspired landing system for autonomous aerial robots, built on the inspire–abstract–implement design paradigm and an additive manufacturing process for soft thermoplastic materials. This novel landing system consists of 3D printable Sarrus shock absorbers and soft landing pads which are integrated with an one-degree-of-freedom actuation mechanism.” This paper uses bio-inspired design to help autonomous aerial robots to land safely. The drone’s design is based off a bird’s perching.
