DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010512
Abstract: Insect flight is a strongly nonlinear and actuated dynamical system. As such, strategies for understanding its control have typically relied on either model-based methods or linearizations thereof. Here we develop a framework that combines model… read more here.
