1104 Flight Stability and Body Angle Control of a Micro Flapping Robot

Micro-Air-Vehicle (MAV) using insect and bird flight mechanisms have been researching all over the world in recent years since the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have been developed. Many researchers have developed MAV with various actuators and devices however their MAV have not been put to practical use yet. The purpose is clarifying the flight trajectory of micro flapping robot at different flapping frequencies. The micro flapping robot moves upward in high flapping frequency flight and moves downward in low flapping frequency flight. The flapping frequency of micro flapping robot on a flight is one of important parameter for the flight attitude control.
