TinySense: A Lighter Weight and More Power-Efficient Avionics System for Flying Insect-Scale Robots

Zhitao Yu, Joshua Tran, Claire Li, Aaron Weber, Yash P. Talwekar, Sawyer B. Fuller

ICRA 2025

In this paper, we introduce advances in the sensor suite of an autonomous flying insect robot (FIR) weighing less than a gram. FIRs, because of their small weight and size, offer unparalleled advantages in terms of material cost and scalability. However, their size introduces considerable control ch

Towards Sensor Autonomy in Sub-Gram Flying Insect Robots: A Lightweight and Power-Efficient Avionics System

Yash P. Talwekar, Andrew Adie, Vikram Iyer, Sawyer B. Fuller

ICRA 2022poster

Flying insect robots weighing less than a gram (FIRs) have advantages over their larger counterparts due to their low materials cost, small size, and low weight, allowing for deployment in large numbers. Control autonomy in such aircraft introduces challenges arising from their small size such as hi…
