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 …

Designing a hummingbird-inspired, at-scale, tail-less flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle
(FWMAV) is a challenging task in order to achieve animallike flight performance under the …

In this letter, we present the untethered flight of an at-scale tailless hummingbird robot with
independently controlled wings. It represents the first untethered stable flight of a two …

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

Flight control such as stable hovering and trajectory tracking of tailless flapping-wing micro
aerial vehicles is a challenging task. Given the constraint on actuation capability, flight …

The utilization of a well-established flapping wing robot simulation holds significant
importance in the advancement of flapping wing mechanisms and algorithms. This research …

Real-time and drift-free state estimation is essential for the flight control of Micro Aerial
Vehicles (MAVs). Due to the vibration caused by the particular flapping motion and the …

Wings of flying animals can not only generate lift and control torques but also can sense
their surroundings. Such dual functions of sensing and actuation coupled in one element are …

A large bionic flapping wing robot has unique advantages in flight efficiency. However, the
fluctuation of fuselage centroid during flight makes it difficult for traditional state sensing and …

Due to its unique way of flying, the flapping mechanism of the flapping-wing micro air vehicle
(FWMAV) will generate severe instantaneous oscillations which is far greater than traditional …
