Introduction of Wrist Joints to a Servo Type Flapping Flight Robot and Verification of Its Effectiveness

Abstract

A flapping flying robot that mimics the flight mechanism of birds can reproduce the efficient flight characteristics of birds, reducing noise during flight and enabling them to fly long distances while reducing energy consumption by gliding. Birds are thought to fly efficiently by adjusting thrust and lift by spreading and folding their wings when flapping. It is also thought that stability and thrust can be improved by appropriately controlling the movement of the wing joints. The purpose of this study is to introduce a wrist joint into the wings of a flapping flying robot and verify its effects.
