1A2-Q09 Non-holonomic Single Rotor Micro Flying Robot(Bio-Mimetics and Bio-Mechatronics(2))

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a non-holonomic single rotor micro flying robot which has high energy efficiency and sufficient mobility, in spite of being compact and lightweight. The proposed robot is just a mechanism where a rotor and a body connected by a rotational actuator. While the robot flies vertically upward very stably, we show phenomena, observed by using a 10.5[g] prototype, that it can change the traveling path in the air by appropriate on-off switching of the rotor.
