Development of Vision Stabilizing System for a Large-Scale Flapping-Wing Robotic Bird

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2020
Bio-inspired flapping-wing flying robots have huge application potential in military reconnaissance, environment exploring, disaster rescue and so on. Vision sensors are usually mounted to provide image information of targets.

Optical flow on a flapping wing robot

2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2009
Optical flow sensing techniques are promising for obstacle avoidance, distance regulation, and moving target tracking, particularly for small mobile robots with limited power and payload constraints. Most optical flow sensing experimental work has been done on mobile platforms which are relatively steady in rotation, unlike the pitching motion expected

Insect-inspired, tailless, hover-capable flapping-wing robots: Recent progress, challenges, and future directions

Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2019
Flying insects are able to hover and perform agile maneuvers by relying on their flapping wings to produce control forces, as well as flight forces, due to the absence of tail control surfaces.

The Fowler Wing Flap

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1936
THE design of aerofoils, after years of research, has about reached its maximum development. The comprehensive research of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics has resulted in several new highly efficient aerofoils. The systematic nature of this research indicates that the possibility of further marked improvement is remote, and would be of ...

The gust-mitigating potential of flapping wings

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2016
Nature's flapping-wing flyers are adept at negotiating highly turbulent flows across a wide range of scales. This is in part due to their ability to quickly detect and counterract disturbances to their flight path, but may also be assisted by an inherent aerodynamic property of flapping wings.

Section Design for Hydrofoil Wings with Flaps

Journal of Hydronautics, 1978
The basic problem of a flapped NACA-16 foil is its poor pressure distribution around the flapped region. With the flap deflected, the velocity distribution becomes a very unfavorable shape in terms of cavitationinception and boundary-layer separation. This type of flow field results in low flap effectiveness.

Aerodynamic sound generation of flapping wing

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
The unsteady flow and acoustic characteristics of the flapping wing are numerically investigated for a two-dimensional model of Bombus terrestris bumblebee at hovering and forward flight conditions. The Reynolds number Re, based on the maximum translational velocity of the wing and the chord length, is 8800 and the Mach number M is 0.0485.
