In this research, we propose two methods to change the flapping angle of flapping flight robot using crank mechanism. Currently, as a flapping mechanism of bird-like flight robot, there are two types of methods using servo motors and using a crank mechanism. The servo motor type machines can freely change the flapping angle during flight by motion program. However, when the flapping speed is increased, it becomes hard to achieve a sufficient flapping angle. On the other hand, although the crank type mechanism can keep the flapping angle even if the flapping speed is increased, the crank type mechanism can not change the flapping angle during flight. Actual birds fly while changing the flapping angle during flight.
In this research, we propose two methods to change the flapping angle of flapping flight robot using crank mechanism and verify it with the developed machines.
