Wing Fold and Twist Greatly Improves Flight Efficiency for Bat-Scale Flapping Wing Robots

IROS 2021poster

Inspired by bat flight performance, we explore the advantages of wing twist and fold for flapping wing robots. For this purpose, we develop a dynamical model that incorporates these two degrees of freedom to the wing. The twist is assumed to be linearly-increasing along the wing, while the wing fold…

Guidelines for the design and control of bio-inspired hovering robots

ICRA 2017poster

We study the dynamics of hovering mechanisms inspired by hummingbirds and bats to extract practical guidelines for the design and control of aerial robots. Using a dynamical model that incorporates wing flapping, pronation and folding, we determine the parameters for which hovering is possible. We s…
