ONLINE COVER Takeoff and Landings. The ability for aerial robots to take off and land on a variety of irregular surfaces will broaden the range of environments where these robots could be deployed. Influenced by how birds take off, land, and grasp, Roderick et al. have developed a bird-inspired grasping system called Stereotyped Nature-inspired Aerial Grasper (SNAG). The researchers integrated SNAG into a quadcopter to demonstrate perching on tree branches of different sizes, orientations, and surface conditions. This month's cover is a photograph of SNAG on a quadcopter perched on a branch.
