Bio-inspired flapping wing robots with foldable or deformable wings: a review.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 15, 2022
Traditional flapping-wing robots (FWRs) obtain lift and thrust by relying on the passive deformation of their wings which cannot actively fold or deform. In contrast, flying creatures such as birds, bats, and insects can maneuver agilely through acti...

Accommodating unobservability to control flight attitude with optic flow.

Nature Oct 19, 2022
Attitude control is an essential flight capability. Whereas flying robots commonly rely on accelerometers for estimating attitude, flying insects lack an unambiguous sense of gravity. Despite the established role of several sense organs in attitude s...

Flow visualization and force measurement of the clapping effect in bio-inspired flying robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Oct 26, 2021
In this paper, we perform experimental investigations of the aerodynamic characteristics due to wing clapping in bio-inspired flying robots; i.e., micro-air-vehicles (MAVs) that fly by flapping their wings. For this purpose, four flapping MAV models ...

Oscillations make a self-scaled model for honeybees' visual odometer reliable regardless of flight trajectory.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface Sep 8, 2021
Honeybees foraging and recruiting nest-mates by performing the waggle dance need to be able to gauge the flight distance to the food source regardless of the wind and terrain conditions. Previous authors have hypothesized that the foragers' visual od...

Avoidance of non-localizable obstacles in echolocating bats: A robotic model.

PLoS computational biology Dec 19, 2019
Most objects and vegetation making up the habitats of echolocating bats return a multitude of overlapping echoes. Recent evidence suggests that the limited temporal and spatial resolution of bio-sonar prevents bats from separately perceiving the obje...
