Frequency-Modulated Control for Insect-Scale Flapping-Wing Vehicles

Rebecca McGill, Nak-seung Patrick Hyun, Robert J. Wood

RA-L 2022

Many insects utilize both amplitude and frequency modulation of their wingstrokes to control flight, a combination with potential advantages for flapping-wing micro-aerial vehicle (FWMAV) flight control as we attempt to mimic the agility of small biological fliers. However, frequency-modulated contr

Modeling and Control of Flapping-Wing Micro-Aerial Vehicles With Harmonic Sinusoids

Rebecca McGill, Nak-seung Patrick Hyun, Robert J. Wood

RA-L 2022

Flapping-wing micro-aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) provide unique control challenges both in control authority and in the complexity of modeling flapping-wing aeromechanics. We provide a control-critical, closed-form model for FWMAV flight, particularly tailored to augmenting yaw torque authority of the v
