Here is a modular single actuator monocopter that can fly in singular or cooperative configuration. You can attach two of them together magnetically to have them fly together in cooperative mode. As the researchers explain, these Modular Single Actuator Monocopters (M-SAM) have connectors that “allow for passive separation of the units without the need for a dedicated separating actuator, by harnessing the variable centrifugal force from controlled adjustment of the rotating speed of the craft.”

Necrobotics: Using Dead Spiders’ Legs As Robotic Grippers

We have covered plenty of interesting robotic grippers here in the past. Rice University researchers have found a way to use dead spiders’ legs as raw material for robotic grippers. They “tapped into the hydraulic infrastructure of dead spiders using a needle.” The legs can be extended with a puff of air. Releasing the pressure retracts them to grab objects.
