Flying insects are able to hover and perform agile maneuvers by relying on their flapping
wings to produce control forces, as well as flight forces, due to the absence of tail control …

Flying insects are interesting dipteras with an outstanding wing structure that makes their
flight efficient. It is challenging to mimic flying insects and create effective artificial flapping …

At rest, beetles fold and tuck their hindwings under the elytra. For flight, the hindwings are
deployed through a series of unfolding configurations that are passively driven by flapping …

For an insect-like tailless flying robot, flapping wings should be able to produce control force
as well as flight force to keep the robot staying airborne. This capability requires an active …

The tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) is one of the most challenging
problems in flapping-wing design due to its lack of tail for inherent flight stability. It must be …

The use of drones, also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is increasing every day.
These aircraft are piloted either remotely by a human pilot or completely autonomously by …

Allomyrina dichotoma has a natural ultra-high flying ability and maneuverability. Especially
its ability to fly flexibly in the air, makes it more adaptable to the harsh ecological …

Mimicking the unpowered gliding capabilities of flying fish is challenging, due to the various
technical limitations that are involved in creating a dual-modal robot that can both swim …

We propose a control moment generator to control the attitude of an insect-like tailless
Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (FW-MAV), where the flapping wings simultaneously …

Recent studies on understanding of natural flyers have encouraged researchers in
development of micro aerial vehicles mimicking birds and insects such as hummingbirds …
