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 …

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 …

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 …

The utilization of small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs), commonly known as drones, has
increased drastically in various industries in the past decade. Commercial drones face …

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

Insects and hummingbirds exhibit extraordinary flight performance and can simultaneously
master seemingly conflicting goals: stable hovering and aggressive maneuvering, which are …

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 …
