Optimal Elastic Wing for Flapping-Wing Robots Through Passive Morphing

Flapping wing robots show promise as platforms for safe and efficient flight in near-human operations, thanks to their ability agile maneuver or perch at a low Reynolds number. The growing trend the automatization of these has go hand with an increase payload capacity. This work provides new passive morphing prototype this type UAV. is based on biased elastic joint holistic research also includes modelling, simulation optimization scheme, thus allowing adapt any flapping robot. model been validated through experiments available platform, it demonstrated that can lift robot under study by up 16% real 10% estimated consumption reduction.
