Extended Data Fig. 5

a, The markers added only 0.2 gram to the robot. The avionics system is covered with damping foam to reduce vibration noise during flapping flight and for protection. b,c, Close-up of the wing in folded (b) and extended (c) configurations. The wings remain folded at the lower threshold (about 5° from the wing root spar).
