Achieving bioinspired flapping wing hovering flight solutions on Mars via wing scaling.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 26, 2018
Achieving atmospheric flight on Mars is challenging due to the low density of the Martian atmosphere. Aerodynamic forces are proportional to the atmospheric density, which limits the use of conventional aircraft designs on Mars. Here, we show using n...
Feedback Control-Based Navigation of a Flying Insect-Machine Hybrid Robot.
Soft robotics
May 3, 2018
This study reports the first ever demonstration of the aero navigation of a free-flying insect based on feedback control. Instead of imitating the complicated kinetics and mechanisms of insect locomotion, a live insect can be directly transformed int...
Design and evaluation of a deformable wing configuration for economical hovering flight of an insect-like tailless flying robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Apr 18, 2018
Studies on wing kinematics indicate that flapping insect wings operate at higher angles of attack (AoAs) than conventional rotary wings. Thus, effectively flying an insect-like flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) requires appropriate wing design...
Robotics-inspired biology.
The Journal of experimental biology
Mar 29, 2018
For centuries, designers and engineers have looked to biology for inspiration. Biologically inspired robots are just one example of the application of knowledge of the natural world to engineering problems. However, recent work by biologists and inte...
Jump stabilization and landing control by wing-spreading of a locust-inspired jumper.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 16, 2017
Bio-inspired robotics is a promising design strategy for mobile robots. Jumping is an energy efficient locomotion gait for traversing difficult terrain. Inspired by the jumping and flying behavior of the desert locust, we have recently developed a mi...
Design and analysis of aerodynamic force platforms for free flight studies.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 16, 2017
We describe and explain new advancements in the design of the aerodynamic force platform, a novel instrument that can directly measure the aerodynamic forces generated by freely flying animals and robots. Such in vivo recordings are essential to bett...
Optimal pitching axis location of flapping wings for efficient hovering flight.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 1, 2017
Flapping wings can pitch passively about their pitching axes due to their flexibility, inertia, and aerodynamic loads. A shift in the pitching axis location can dynamically alter the aerodynamic loads, which in turn changes the passive pitching motio...
Optic flow-based collision-free strategies: From insects to robots.
Arthropod structure & development
Jul 11, 2017
Flying insects are able to fly smartly in an unpredictable environment. It has been found that flying insects have smart neurons inside their tiny brains that are sensitive to visual motion also called optic flow. Consequently, flying insects rely ma...
Morphological self stabilization of locomotion gaits: illustration on a few examples from bio-inspired locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 20, 2017
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...
Experimental and numerical studies of beetle-inspired flapping wing in hovering flight.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 17, 2017
In this paper, we measure unsteady forces and visualize 3D vortices around a beetle-like flapping wing model in hovering flight by experiment and numerical simulation. The measurement of unsteady forces and flow patterns around the wing were conducte...
