Maybe just too terse. Try this: "First discovery that flying insects use an unexpectedly simple and elegant strategy for landing on flat surfaces (Biological Cybernetics 2000). Image velocity is held constant as the surface is approached, thus automatically ensuring that flight speed is close to zero at touchdown. No explicit knowledge of flight speed or height above the ground is necessary. The feasibility of this landing strategy has been successfully tested by implementation on a robotic gantry, and is presently being implemented for testing on airborne vehicles."
