Flapping-wing propulsion for a micro air vehicle

38th Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2000
AIAA Paper No. 2000-0897, 38th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, Reno, Nevada, Jan. 2000. Recent interest in the development of micro-air-vehicles (MAVs) has led to a renewed interest in flapping-wing propulsion due to the relatively poor efficiencies of conventional propellers at these small scales.

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,
