Elastic Element Integration for Improved Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle Performance

Autor: Ranjana Sahai, Kevin C. Galloway, Robert J. Wood

Publikováno v: IEEE Transactions on Robotics. 29:32-41

This paper studies flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAV) whose transmission mechanisms use flexures as energy storage elements to reduce needed input power. A distinguishing feature of the proposed four-bar mechanism is the use of rubber-based fle

Publikováno v: ICRA

This paper presents a biologically inspired, 3.2g untethered vehicle capable of both active (flapping) and passive (gliding) flight. We discuss the overall vehicle design, as well as its validation with thrust data from benchtop testing, simulation,

Publikováno v: IROS

This paper presents a non-linear, dynamic model of the flexure-based transmission in the Harvard Ambulatory Microrobot (HAMR). The model is derived from first principles and has led to a more comprehensive understanding of the components in this tran

A flapping-wing micro air vehicle with interchangeable parts for system integration studies

Autor: Ranjana Sahai, Kevin C. Galloway, Robert J. Wood, Michael Karpelson

Publikováno v: IROS

This paper describes the development of a unique flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) whose major components, i.e. the motor, transmission mechanisms, and wings, are rapidly interchangeable. When coupled with a test stand that includes a 6-axis fo

Microfluidics and Nanofluidics

This paper reports the development, modeling, and testing of an original microfluidic chip capable of generating both time-evolving and spatially varying gradients in standard Petri dishes. It consists of three sets of five independently controlled p
