Traditional flapping-wing robots (FWRs) obtain lift and thrust by relying on the passive
deformation of their wings which cannot actively fold or deform. In contrast, flying creatures …

This study focuses on the flapping mechanisms found in recently developed biometric
flapping-wing air vehicles (FWAVs). FWAVs mimic the flight characteristics of flying animals …

Avian flapping strategies have the potential to revolutionize future drones as they may
considerably improve agility, increase slow speed flight capability, and extend the …

Bird-like flapping-wing vehicles with a high aspect ratio have the potential to fulfill missions
given to micro air vehicles, such as high-altitude reconnaissance, surveillance, rescue, and …

Bird flight incorporates complex multi-degree-of-freedom motions, such as flapping, pitching,
twisting, and folding. The aerodynamic mechanism of these complex movements, especially …

The development of automatic perception systems and techniques for bio-inspired flapping-
wing robots is severely hampered by the high technical complexity of these platforms and …

A lot of flapping-wing mechanisms have been proposed to mimic the flight characteristics of
biological flyers. However, it is difficult to find studies that consider the unsteady …

As a novel aerial vehicle, flapping-wing rotorcrafts (FWRs) leverage both aerodynamic
advantages of flapping and rotary wings, which can enhance the lift by using the passive …

In this work, we use a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to
comprehend how the two wing arrangement variables, ie, inner/outer wing proportion and …

Bird-like flapping-wing aerial vehicles (BFAVs) have attracted significant attention due to
their advantages in endurance, range, and load capacity. For a long time, biologists have …
