    Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology and the Agency for Defense Development (ADD)'s AI Autonomy Technology Center in South Korea recently developed a drone with foldable wings that could be more maneuverable than conventional drones. Their drone draws inspiration from the winged flying squirrel, a type of squirrel that uses loose flaps of skin attached from their wrists to their ankles to glide from tree to tree.
