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…

Why fly blind? Event-based visual guidance for ornithopter robot flight

A. Gómez Eguíluz, J.P. Rodríguez-Gómez, R. Tapia, F.J. Maldonado, J.Á. Acosta, J.R. Martínez-de Dios +1

IROS 2021poster

The development of perception and control methods that allow bird-scale flapping-wing robots (a.k.a. ornithopters) to perform autonomously is an under-researched area. This paper presents a fully onboard event-based method for ornithopter robot visual guidance. The method uses event cameras to explo…
