Inertial Attitude Control of a Bat-like Morphing-wing Micro Air Vehicle
This article presents a novel bat-like micro air vehicle inspired by the morphing-wing mechanism of bats. The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly, a modelling framework is introduced for analysing how the robot should maneuver by means of changing wing morphology. This allows the definition of requirements for achieving forward and turning flight according to the kinematics of the wing modul...
متن کاملUnderstanding of bat wing evolution takes flight.
It has long been debated whether the processes and mechanisms responsible for phenotypic variation within a population or between closely related populations can be extrapolated to explain evolutionary trends over longer phylogenetic distances and especially the generation of novel structures. Although there has been great progress in recent years in addressing the genetic basis for microevolut...
متن کاملBat wing sensors support flight control.
Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight, and they perform impressive aerial maneuvers like tight turns, hovering, and perching upside down. The bat wing contains five digits, and its specialized membrane is covered with stiff, microscopically small, domed hairs. We provide here unique empirical evidence that the tactile receptors associated with these hairs are involved in sensorimo...
متن کاملProper Orthogonal Decomposition and Particle Image Velocimetry in Bat Flight
Correct models of complex flight, such as bat flight, have the potential to foster significant new discoveries in the biological evolution of flight. These models may also provide insight useful for engineering flight vehicles with increased maneuverability and in-flight sensing capabilities. To construct these models, one needs to understand and represent both the complex motion of bat wings i...
متن کاملUpstroke wing flexion and the inertial cost of bat flight.
Flying vertebrates change the shapes of their wings during the upstroke, thereby decreasing wing surface area and bringing the wings closer to the body than during downstroke. These, and other wing deformations, might reduce the inertial cost of the upstroke compared with what it would be if the wings remained fully extended. However, wing deformations themselves entail energetic costs that cou...
