Efficiency of lift production in flapping and gliding flight of swifts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many flying animals use both flapping and gliding flight as part of their routine behaviour. These two kinematic patterns impose conflicting requirements on wing design for aerodynamic efficiency and, in the absence of extreme morphing, wings cannot be ...

Research progress on the flight control of flapping-wing aerial vehicles
工程科学学报, 2023 In nature, flying creatures flap their wings to generate lift, which is necessary for flight. Most birds change flight patterns by moving their wings using their wing muscles and adjusting their tail states.

Behavioral control and changes in brain activity of honeybee during flapping
Brain and Behavior, 2021 Introduction Insect cyborg is a kind of novel robot based on insect–machine interface and principles of neurobiology. The key idea is to stimulate live insects by specific stimuli; thus, the flight trajectory of insects could be controlled as anticipated.

Flying State Sensing and Estimation Method of Large-Scale Bionic Flapping Wing Flying Robot
Actuators, 2022 A large bionic flapping wing robot has unique advantages in flight efficiency. However, the fluctuation of fuselage centroid during flight makes it difficult for traditional state sensing and estimation methods to provide stable and accurate data.
