Aerodynamics of Flapping Wings and Bio-inspired Micro Air Vehicles
Abstract:
The recent surge of interest in the development of micro air vehicles capable of hovering and fast maneuvering has led to several efforts to develop bio-inspired flapping wing robotic devices inspired by nature. In fact, flying animals such as insects, bats and birds demonstrate remarkable aerial maneuverability and stability, exceeding those of the conventional fixed or rotary wing aircraft in certain applications. However, the underlying principles of their flight performance are far from being well understood. In our bio-robotics lab, we investigate animal locomotion and apply the principles of animal locomotion to the development of bio-inspired robots with hovering capabilities and high maneuverability in confined spaces. Our research are based on theoretical analysis using dynamic system, control and robotics theories; fluid experiments using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system in an oil tank or wind tunnel; and design and development of robotic insects using mechatronics tools. The scope of our research include the aerodynamics of flapping wings; dynamics, stability and control of flapping flight; bio-inspired robotic insects and their actuator and sensor development, etc. In this talk I will highlight our recent findings on flapping flight, including 1) Aerodynamics of flexible wings; 2) Aerodynamic effect of wing-wing interactions in dragonflies; 3) The experiments and performance of robotic insect prototypes developed in the lab.
