Insect-inspired Autonomous Microflyer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous flight in cluttered environments such as houses or offices requires high maneuverability, fast mapping from sensors to actuators and extremely light overall weight. Although flying insects are well capable to solve this problem, roboticists have been at pain to reproduce such capabilities. At the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, we are taking inspiration from flying insects to progress toward this goal. The latest version of our microflyers, the MC2, takes advantage of principles found in flying insects in order to autonomously fly in a textured experiment room.

Optic flow to control small UAVs
Autonomous flight in confined or cluttered environments such as houses or urban canyons requires high manoeuvrability, fast mapping from sensors to actuators and very limited overall system weight. Although flying animals are well capable of coping with such situations, roboticists still have difficulties at reproducing such capabilities. This paper describes how we took inspiration from flying...

متن کاملA H∞ loopshaping approach for autonomous bio-inspired visual navigation in three-dimensional urban environments
The insect visuomotor system combines a lightweight and high bandwidth sensor with fast processing algorithms for efficient information extraction that enables autonomous navigation in complex, obstacle laden environments. In this paper, an H∞ loop shaping controller synthesis framework is introduced to analyze an information extraction approach from patterns of optic flow based on analogs of w...
متن کاملFlight Control System for a Micromechanical Flying Insect: Architecture and Implementation
This paper describes recent results on the design and simulation of a flight control system for Micromechanical Flying Insect (MFI), a 10-25 mm (wingtip-to-wingtip) device eventually capable of sustained autonomous flight. The biologically inspired system architecture results in a hierarchical structure of different control methodologies, which give the possibility to plan complex missions from...
