Repeatable Energy-Efficient Perching for Flapping-Wing Robots Using Soft Grippers [PDF]
arXivWith the emergence of new flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle (FWMAV) designs, a need for extensive and advanced mission capabilities arises. FWMAVs try to adapt and emulate the flight features of birds and flying insects. While current designs already achieve high manoeuvrability, they still almost entirely lack perching and take-off abilities.

Role of Free Flaps in Facial Burn Reconstructions
Indian Journal of Plastic SurgeryTraditionally, burn reconstructions have been performed by the use of skin grafting or local flaps. Recently free flaps are being used with increasing frequency.

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.The study concludes that while both T‐PRF and L‐PRF aid in bone regeneration, L‐PRF shows superior efficacy. L‐PRF is recommended for bone defect healing due to its better performance in enhancing bone parameters. The density of the defect area (red circle) treated with L‐PRF extract demonstrates strong integration due to its close resemblance to ...

Dimensional optimization of single-DOF planar rigid link-flapping mechanisms for high lift and low power [PDF]
arXivRigid link flapping mechanisms remain the most practical choice for flapping wing micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) to carry useful payloads and onboard batteries for free flight due to their long-term durability and reliability. However, to achieve high agility and maneuverability-like insects-MAVs with these mechanisms require significant weight reduction.

Extremum Seeking for Controlled Vibrational Stabilization of Mechanical Systems: A Variation-of-Constant Averaging Approach Inspired by Flapping Insects Mechanics [PDF]
arXivThis paper presents a novel extremum seeking control (ESC) approach for the vibrational stabilization of a class of mechanical systems (e.g., systems characterized by equations of motion resulting from Newton second law or Euler-Lagrange mechanics). Inspired by flapping insects mechanics, the proposed ESC approach is operable by only one perturbation ...

A flexured-gimbal 3-axis force-torque sensor reveals minimal cross-axis coupling in an insect-sized flapping-wing robot [PDF]
arXivThe mechanical complexity of flapping wings, their unsteady aerodynamic flow, and challenge of making measurements at the scale of a sub-gram flapping-wing flying insect robot (FIR) make its behavior hard to predict. Knowing the precise mapping from voltage input to torque output, however, can be used to improve their mechanical and flight controller ...
