Liftoff of a 60mg flapping-wing MAV
2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007Up to this point, researchers working to artificially re-create hovering insect flight have not demonstrated an integrated micromechanical device that is able to lift its own weight. Inspiration from biological systems coupled with revolutionary breakthroughs in microfabrication technologies have now enabled the realization of insect- sized micro air ...

Effects of wing morphology on flapping-wing aerodynamics
2018Flapping flight of biological flyers provides great inspiration for the development of micro air vehicles (MAVs). However, the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping flight is to be clarified before MAVs can rival nature. In this dissertation, the effects of wing morphology, including the aspect ratio and the wing flexibility, on the flow development and ...

Biomimetic flapping wing aerial vehicle
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2009This paper presents a vertical take-off and hover capable flapping wing aerial vehicle using a biomimetic approach; replicating the hovering patterns of dragonflies and hummingbirds. The prototype uses a spatial mechanism driven by a rotary actuator which generates an angle of attack during each wing stroke. A 98g, 380mm span two wing prototype capable
