IROS 2021poster

Flapping-wing robots (so-called ornithopters) are a promising type of platform to perform efficient winged flight and interaction with the environment. However, the control of such vehicles is challenging due to their under-actuated morphology to meet lightweight requirements. Consequently, the flig…

Adaptive Nonlinear Control For Perching of a Bioinspired Ornithopter

F. J. Maldonado, J. Á. Acosta, J. Tormo-Barbero, P. Grau, M. M. Guzmán, A. Ollero

IROS 2020poster

This work presents a model-free nonlinear controller for an ornithopter prototype with bioinspired wings and tail. The size and power requirements have been thought to allocate a customized autopilot on board. To assess the functionality and performance of the full mechatronic design, a controller h…
