4枚翅羽ばたき装置を用いた姿勢制御戦略

抄録

In insect flapping mechanisms, how to hover insects' body with 4-wings flapping is still unclear part. We already demonstrated that two rotational moments could be controlled by changing the angles of the flapping amplitudes. However, the elucidations of three rotational moments for postural control with 4-wings flapping were not enough. To clarify the relationships between the aerodynamic parameters, the flapping parameters and these three rotational moments to change the moving direction while flying, we developed the test device mimicked the dragonfly. In this paper, we demonstrated our device and the results of the three moments generated by flapping motion. As the results, the roll moments could be controlled by changing the flapping amplitude angle and the pitch and yaw moments were by changing the angles of the flapping amplitude and of the stroke planes.
