Enhanced Aerial Reorientation Performance Using a 3-DoF Morphable Inertial Tail Inspired by Kangaroo Rats

Animal motion has been a source of inspiration for enhancing robot maneuverability. Kangaroo rats rely on aerial reorientation during evasive leaps to evade snake predation. They rapidly swing their tails to reorient their bodies over two full rotations around the yaw direction. Robotic tails for ae
