This paper investigates the hovering efficiency of the wing-actuation parameters of a flapping microaerial vehicle with a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) driving mechanism, using finite-element analysis based on the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method (ALE-FEA). A 75-mm-long wing and multilinkage mechanism that consisted of thin plates and films was employed. It generated a flapping motion that consisted...
We propose the system for the mobile robot navigation with a laser source on the ceiling. At first, users make a navigation path which shows where the mobile robot should go. Base on the navigation path information, the laser spot is automatically irradiated to the ground. Then, the mobile robot detects the position of the laser spot by the optical sensor array and follows the trajectory of the laser...
We proposed the laser navigation system navigating a mobile robot with a laser source and considered the effectiveness. As the result of our research, we proved we could navigate the mobile robot by the laser navigation system. However, the optical sensor array decided the operating range and the angle of incident laser. Therefore, we added a pan and tilt mechanism to the optical sensor array and...
An actuator for a middle-sized flapping flight robot is quantitatively investigated. Flapping flight like that of insects is a potentially useful method of travel for micro robots. Some insect-mimicking robots have been developed, which have actuators with two or more degrees of freedom per wing. For the detailed design of such an actuator, it is necessary to deal with the interaction between the...
