First free-flight flow visualisation of a flapping-wing robot
Flow visualisations are essential to better understand the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wing flight. The issues inherent to animal experiments, such as poor controllability and unnatural flapping when tethered, can be avoided by using robotic flyers. Such an approach holds a promise for a more systematic and repeatable methodology for flow visualisation, through a better controlled flight....
متن کاملAmulti-fidelity modelling approach for evaluation and optimization of wing stroke aerodynamics in flapping flight
The aerodynamics of hovering flight in a hawkmoth (Manduca sexta) are examined using a computational modelling approach which combines a low-fidelity bladeelement model with a high-fidelity Navier–Stokes-based flow solver. The focus of the study is on understanding the optimality of the hawkmoth-inpired wingstrokes with respect to lift generation and power consumption. The approach employs a ti...
متن کاملA Simple Evolutionary Framework for Generating Robust Flight Manoeuvre in a Physically Simulated Flapping Wing Robot
This work demonstrates a successful evolutionary framework to generate the neural network controller of a physically simulated simple 3D flapping wing flying robot which shows robust flight manoeuvre and tolerance to external perturbations. In contrast to recent studies which dealt with the artificial evolution of neural network for steering flight [1,2], this work generates a robot which uses ...
متن کاملHigh Fidelity Simulations of Flapping Wings Designed for Energetically Optimal Flight
A diversity of efficient solutions for flapping flight have evolved in nature; however, it is often difficult to isolate the key characteristics of efficient flapping flight from biological constraints. Rather than base micro aerial vehicle (MAV) design on natural flyers alone, we propose a multi-fidelity computational approach for analysis and design. At the lowest fidelity level, we use a wak...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of Ultralight High-Voltage Power Circuits for Flapping-Wing Robotic Insects
Flapping-wing robotic insects are small, highly maneuverable flying robots inspired by biologicalinsects and useful for a wide range of tasks, including exploration, environmental monitoring, searchand rescue, and surveillance. Recently, robotic insects driven by piezoelectric actuators have achievedthe important goal of taking off with external power; however, fully autonomous operation requir...
