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 …

Flapping wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) take inspiration from natural fliers, such as insects
and hummingbirds. Existing designs manage to mimic the wing motion of natural fliers to a …

Flying animals with flapping wings may best exemplify the astonishing ability of natural
selection on design optimization by excelling both stability and maneuverability at …

Achieving resonance in flapping wings has been recognized as one of the most important
principles to enhance power efficiency, lift generation, and flight control performance of high …

Biological studies show that hummingbirds can perform extreme aerobatic maneuvers
during fast escape. Given a sudden looming visual stimulus at hover, a hummingbird …

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 …

Interest in the exploration of other planets has led to the success of Ingenuity (Mars
helicopter)'s first flight in the Martian atmosphere. Despite this achievement, the flight of …

With the goal of operating a biologically inspired robot autonomously outside of laboratory
conditions, in this paper, we simulated wind disturbances in a laboratory setting and …

Studies on wing kinematics indicate that flapping insect wings operate at higher angles of
attack (AoAs) than conventional rotary wings. Thus, effectively flying an insect-like flapping …

Controlled hovering of motor driven flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) is
challenging due to its limited control authority, large inertia, vibration produced by wing …
