Prior to the launch, the robo-roach simply hauls the H2Bird around on it back. You might think that would reduce its efficiency, but this is actually beneficial for both robots. When they’re connected, the pair can work as a team. Researchers found that by having the H2Bird flap its wings at 5Hz (not fast enough to take off), the effective weight of the cockroach is decreased by 12 percent and it’s more stable. The bird component also benefits as it doesn’t have to expend as much energy for forward momentum in this arrangement.
