Abstract:Biologically-inspired flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles are characterised by nonlinear, unsteady aerodynamics and complex dynamics, both highly challenging to model. To take full advantage of the flight capabilities of such vehicles, it is necessary to obtain insight into their dynamics in the different flyable conditions, and to provide adequate control in all of these conditions. Nonetheless, the dynamics are typically only considered in a single flight regime, and controllers are frequently tuned for a pa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
