Modeling and Simulation of Nonlinear Dynamics of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles
The derivation of the nonlinear dynamics of flapping wing micro air vehicles is presented. Simulation results investigate differences in the position and orientation of the body due to differing wing masses and aerodynamic modeling choices. The flapping wing micro air vehicle is modeled as a system of three rigid bodies: a body and two wings. Themass of the wings, and their associatedmass and i...
متن کاملSteering by Gazing: An Efficient Biomimetic Strategy for the Visual Stabilization of Micro-Air Vehicles
Flying insects and birds are able to navigate swiftly in unknown environments with very few computational resources. They are not guided via radio links with any ground stations and perform all the required calculations on-board. The ability to stabilize the gaze is the key to an efficient visual guidance system, as it reduces the computational burden associated with visuo-motor processing. Smo...
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...
متن کاملMicrofluidic 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...
