Bio-inspired flying robots (BIFRs) are micro-air-vehicles that use biomimetic actuation
(oscillatory flapping wing) for lift, propulsion, and control. The dynamic behavior of these bio …

Flying animals such as insects display great flight performances with high stability and
maneuverability even under unpredictable disturbances in natural and man-made …

We present here a special issue of the Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science on bio-
inspired flapping foils and their applications. The papers included in this issue were solicited …

In this paper, we perform experimental investigations of the aerodynamic characteristics due
to wing clapping in bio-inspired flying robots; ie, micro-air-vehicles (MAVs) that fly by …

There has been significant interest in the field of bioinspired robotics, particularly in the
development of flapping-wing robots from micro to bird size. Most flapping robots use lever …

Vibrational control is an open loop stabilization technique via the application of
highamplitude, high-frequency oscillatory inputs. The averaging theory has been the …

By combining the flapping and rotary motion, a bio-inspired flapping wing rotor (FWR) is a
unique kinematics of motion. It can produce a significantly greater aerodynamic lift and …

Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) have gained much attention from researchers
due to their exceptional performance at low Reynolds numbers. However, the limited …
