Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) inspired by the nature are interesting flight platforms due to their efficiency, concealment and agility. However, most studies have been conducted in indoor environments where external disturbance is excluded because these FWMAVs are susceptible to disturba
Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) become promising research platforms due to their advantages such as various maneuverability, and concealment. However, unsteady flow at low Reynolds number around the wings makes their dynamics time-varying and highly non-linear. It makes autonomous flight o…
Hovering flight is one of the valuable capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform various missions. It is easily attainable by rotary-wing aircrafts such as a helicopter and multirotor. This flight maneuver, however, remains a significant challenge to a flapping wing micro air vehic…
In this paper, we design an autonomous flight controller for height regulation and bang-bang controller for directional control of a light-weight flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) with limited payload. We also present autonomous vision-based target tracking for a FWMAV equipped with a low-cost…
