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…
