Factors affecting the sticking of insects on modified aircraft wings [PDF]

open access: yes
The adhesion of insects to aircraft wings is studied. Insects were collected in road tests in past studies and a large experimental error was introduced caused by the variability of insect flux.

AInsectID Version 1.1: An Insect Species Identification Software Based on the Transfer Learning of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This paper describes the basis for AInsectID Version 1, a GUI‐operable open‐source insect species identification, color processing, and image analysis software. This paper discusses our methods of algorithmic development, coupled to rigorous machine training used to enable high levels of validation accuracy.

Rapid and Reversible Morphing to Enable Multifunctionality in Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a rapid, reversible, and repeatable morphing robot through a bistable latch‐mediated, spring actuated (LaMSA) mechanism. This enables an untethered, multifunctional robot to near‐instantaneously (< 50 ms) and reversibly switch between a flying and driving configuration to navigate through different environments.

Machine Learning‐Based Wind Classification by Wing Deformation in Biomimetic Flapping Robots: Biomimetic Flexible Structures Improve Wind Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...
