Flapping wing robots show some promise for safe, efficient flights. Plenty of researchers are working to make these robots more agile and increase their payload. This video from GRVC Robotics Laboratory shows a passive morphing wing prototype that addresses these problems. This prototype has an elastic joint.

Optimal elastic wing for flapping-wing robots through passive morphing
According to the researchers, this approach can increase the lift capacity of the robot by 16% and 10% more efficient.
