The flapping wing UAV (FWUAV)

open access: yes, 2011
In this thesis a mechanism which produced flapping and sweeping motions was designed and fabricated. Flapping motion was produced by using a linear actuator and sweeping motion was generated by two independent angular actuators. The combination motions of flapping and sweeping can optimize the generation of lift and thrust.

Penguin-mimetic flapping-wing propulsion

open access: yesPenguin-mimetic flapping-wing propulsion
Penguins have evolved to swim underwater. They are capable of high-speed foraging, agile maneuver, and deep diving by the flapping wings, that can be a promising model for biomimetic underwater robots in the future. The biomechanics and hydrodynamics studies of penguin swimming, however, are sparse to date, remaining the details of the propulsion ...
