Adaptive control of a millimeter-scale flapping-wing robot.
Challenges for the controlled flight of a robotic insect are due to the inherent instability of the system, complex fluid-structure interactions, and the general lack of a complete system model. In this paper, we propose theoretical models of the system based on the limited information available from previous work and a comprehensive flight controller. The modular flight controller is derived f...
متن کاملFirst 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 کاملFootprints of a flapping wing
Birds have to flap their wings to generate the needed thrust force, which powers them through the air. But how exactly do flapping wings create such force, and at what amplitude and frequency should they operate? These questions have been asked by many researchers. It turns out that much of the secret is hidden in the wake left behind the flapping wing. Exemplified by the study of Andersen et a...
متن کاملModeling Interactions Between Flexible Flapping Wing Spars, Mechanisms, and Drive Motors
A system of dynamical equations is presented that allow micro air vehicle (MAV) ornithopter designers to match drive motors to loads produced by flexible flapping wing spars. The model can be used to examine the coupled system-level behavior of brushed DC motors, gear trains, and any number of linkages and flexible wing spars. A Lagrangian approach is used to derive the governing differential e...
متن کاملUPDATE ON FLAPPING WING MICRO AIR VEHICLE RESEARCH Ongoing work to Develop a Flapping Wing, Crawling “Entomopter”
An electromechanical multimode (flying/crawling) insect is being developed by Robert Michelson and his design team at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. The project has received initial IRAD funding from the Georgia Institute of Technology. The mechanical insect, known as an “Entomopter” is based around a new development called a Reciprocating Chemical Muscle (RCM) which is capable of generat...
