Scaling of the performance of insect-inspired passive-pitching flapping wings.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface Dec 18, 2019
Flapping flight using passive pitch regulation is a commonly used mode of thrust and lift generation in insects and has been widely emulated in flying vehicles because it allows for simple implementation of the complex kinematics associated with flap...

Robust sound event detection in bioacoustic sensor networks.

PloS one Oct 24, 2019
Bioacoustic sensors, sometimes known as autonomous recording units (ARUs), can record sounds of wildlife over long periods of time in scalable and minimally invasive ways. Deriving per-species abundance estimates from these sensors requires detection...

Extremely large sweep amplitude enables high wing loading in giant hovering insects.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 13, 2019
Beetle Allomyrina dichotoma is one of the largest insects that performs many remarkable modes of locomotion, particularly hovering flight capability. In order to stay airborne, its flexible hindwings are flapped so as to work as a thrust generator. H...

A biohybrid fly-robot interface system that performs active collision avoidance.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 6, 2019
We have designed a bio-hybrid fly-robot interface (FRI) to study sensorimotor control in insects. The FRI consists of a miniaturized recording platform mounted on a two-wheeled robot and is controlled by the neuronal spiking activity of an identified...

A minimal longitudinal dynamic model of a tailless flapping wing robot for control design.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jun 6, 2019
Recently, several insect- and hummingbird-inspired tailless flapping wing robots have been introduced. However, their flight dynamics, which are likely to be similar to that of their biological counterparts, remain yet to be fully understood. We prop...

Analysis of the role of wind information for efficient chemical plume tracing based on optogenetic silkworm moth behavior.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 31, 2019
Many animals use olfactory information to search for feeding areas and other individuals in real time and with high efficiency. We focus on the chemical plume tracing (CPT) ability of male silkworm moths and investigate an efficient CPT strategy for ...

Design and demonstration of a bio-inspired flapping-wing-assisted jumping robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Mar 13, 2019
Jumping insects such as fleas, froghoppers, grasshoppers, and locusts take off from the ground using a catapult mechanism to push their legs against the surface of the ground while using their pairs of flapping wings to propel them into the air. Such...

A Torque-actuated dissipative spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling contact and Its application to hexapod running.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Feb 1, 2019
We report on the development and analysis of a new torque-actuated dissipative spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling contact (TDR-SLIP), which is a successor to the previously developed spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling ...

Development and flight performance of a biologically-inspired tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle with wing stroke plane modulation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Dec 7, 2018
The tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) is one of the most challenging problems in flapping-wing design due to its lack of tail for inherent flight stability. It must be designed in such a way that it can produce proper augmented contro...

Avian-inspired energy-harvesting from atmospheric phenomena for small UAVs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 20, 2018
Fixed-wing small, unmanned aerial vehicles usually fly in atmospheric boundary layers that are often under the influence of turbulent environments. Inspired by nature's flyers, an application of an energy-harvesting flight strategy for increasing the...
