2022年12月23日 · We have developed a biohybrid flapping robot designed to test aerodynamic force generation and power requirements associated with bird flight. Our robot constitutes a considerable improvement of wing design and kinematic capabilities, with at least two additional kinematic degrees of freedom, compared to previous bird-like systems.

2022年2月1日 · A flight control system was specially developed for a large-scale flapping wing robotic bird to realize autonomous, semi-autonomous and manual control modes. The flight experiments verified the reliability of the developed control system.

2023年1月20日 · Now, researchers have built a robotic wing, combining real feathers with mechanical structures, to ask fundamental questions of bird flight dynamics and possibly guide the development of a new generation of flapping drones.

2020年1月17日 · To replicate this control principle in a robot, we developed a biohybrid morphing wing with real feathers to understand the underlying design principles. The outcome, PigeonBot, embodies 42 degrees of freedom that control the position of 40 elastically connected feathers via four servo-actuated wrist and finger joints.

2024年12月4日 · Nature - A robotic leg that can transition smoothly between locomotion modes. A bird’s ability to transition swiftly from walking to flying has been emulated in the design of a simple robotic...

2020年4月1日 · Researchers recently designed and flew a robot with feathered wings that can change shape midflight like birds' do, giving it greater maneuverability than rigid drones. To design the winged...

Here we describe a protective strategy for winged drones that mitigates the added weight and drag by means of increased lift generation and stall delay at high angles of attack.

With the aim to extend the versatility and adaptability of robots in complex environments, a novel multi-modal flying and walking robot is presented. The robot consists of a flying wing with...

2023年1月17日 · Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have built a bird-like feathered robotic wing and tested it in a wind tunnel in an effort to work out how to improve the efficiency of flight. The research has revealed that birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, a technique that the researchers believe could be applied ...

2020年11月16日 · To achieve equivalent swimming skills in an aquatic robot, the wing motion of a real penguin was investigated. Based on the findings, we developed a three-DOF robotic penguin wing that is able to implement the same flapping, feathering, and pitch motions as …
