Insect behaviour: controlling flight altitude with optic flow.

Barbara Webb1.   

Abstract

Insects can smoothly control their height while flying by adjusting lift to maintain a set-point in the ventral optic flow. The efficacy of this simple flight-control mechanism has been demonstrated using a robot helicopter.
