Small flying robots are expected to play an active role in various fields such as disaster sites, inspection in plants. Those robots are required to be smaller and to drive in wires operation. In order to realize this, we focused on self-excited electrostatic actuators. Because those actuators can drive in oscillatory motion with a simple structure and DC power supply, it is considered to be suitable for small flying robot which enable wireless flight. We improved output efficiency by giving elastic element and confirmed the flapping motion of a small fling robot using the improved self-excited electrostatic actuator. In this paper, we experimentally verified the lift force using a prototype.
