Microfluidic Devices for Insect Micro-Air-Vehicles
This work describes the intimate fusion of microsystems and physiology though the implantation of a microfluidic device into living insects. Specifically, we focus on the control of Manduca sexta moth flight activity using an implanted, low power electrokinetic drug delivery device. This effort is a critical component in our development of “Insect Micro-Air-Vehicles” which aim to fuse nanodevic...
متن کاملFlexible-Wing-Based Micro Air Vehicles
This paper documents the development and evaluation of an original flexible-wing-based Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) technology that reduces adverse effects of gusty wind conditions and unsteady aerodynamics, exhibits desirable flight stability, and enhances structural durability. The flexible wing concept has been demonstrated on aircraft with wingspans ranging from 18 inches to 5 inches. Salient fe...
متن کاملEvolving control for distributed micro air vehicles
The general idea of distributed robotics (or multirobot systems) is that teams of robots, deployed to achieve a common goal, can outperform individual robots in terms of e ciency and quality and, in some cases, can perform tasks that a single robot cannot. Consider, for example, Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), each of which has an extremely small payload capacity. Though individual MAVs may have lim...
متن کاملVisual Navigation for Micro Air Vehicles
Recent advances in state estimation, planning, mapping, and control algorithms combined with ever-increasing computational power available onboard micro air vehicles have enabled a number of researchers to demonstrate advanced autonomous capabilities in GPS-denied environments. Much of this work has focused around the use of laser range-finder sensors, however the use of a 2D sensor in a 3D env...
متن کاملControl of Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles
Most birds and many insects use periodic wing motion to propel themselves and maneuver. Most conventional flying machines are propelled by rotating machinery, achieve lift through rotating or fixed wings, and are controlled through the production of steady aerodynamic forces produced by rotors or movable wings. Many of the first powered flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) effectively replac...
