Conceptual design of flapping-wing micro air vehicles
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2012Traditional micro air vehicles (MAVs) are miniature versions of full-scale aircraft from which their design principles closely follow. The first step in aircraft design is the development of a conceptual design, where basic specifications and vehicle size are established.

Challenges for micro-scale flapping-wing micro air vehicles
SPIE Proceedings, 2012The challenges for successful flight of insect-scale micro air vehicles encompass basic questions of fabrication, design, propulsion, actuation, control, and power - topics that have in general been answered for larger aircraft. When developing a flying robot on the scale of flies and bees, all hardware must be developed from scratch as there are no

State Estimation for Micro Air Vehicles
2007Autopilots for small UAVs are generally equipped with low fidelity sen- sors that make state estimation challenging. In addition, the sensor suite does not include units that measure angle-of-attack and side-slip angles. The achievable flight performance is directly related to the quality of the state estimates.

Fly like a fly [micro-air vehicle
IEEE Spectrum, 2005A team of scientists has built a fly-size flight simulator in an attempt to understand flight control from the perspective of the common housefly. Results so far have shown, and further tests are expected to confirm, that the fly uses a flight control paradigm that is completely different from that of a fighter jet.
