Robustification of a biologically inspired flapping mechanism

Description

The design of an adaptable system to analyze the properties of flight dynamics in flapping wing systems helps to study and understand their aerodynamic characteristics, allowing the use of control techniques to improve the flying performance. This work presents the design of prototype test benches using a flapping wing mechanism. The usage of these units allowsto test those control strategies, to reach the lift force managing the movement in a determined angular flying position. The effects representatively are measured by an accelerometer sensor.
