An Agile Robotic Penguin Driven by Submersible Geared Servomotors: Various Maneuvers by Active Feathering of the Wings

Taiki Shimooka, Atsushi Kakogawa, Hiroto Tanaka

IROS 2024poster

This study introduces an agile robotic penguin featuring a pair of 2-degrees of freedom (DoF) wing mechanisms. Each wing can independently control flapping and feathering motions with two in-house submersible geared servomotors through a differential gear mechanism. Notably, our mechanism allows unr…

Hummingbird-bat hybrid wing by 3-D printing*

Tomoya Fujii, Jinqiang Dang, Hiroto Tanaka

ICRA 2023poster

Hovering hummingbirds have inspired small flapping-wing aerial robots. Natural flyers, including hummingbirds and bats, undergo torsional wing deformation during flapping flight owing to complex wing structure, while previous artificial wings were relatively simple and difficult to design the torsio…
