A lot of insect-sized flapping robots have been developed for their safety and maneuverability. Especially various designs of flapping robots using piezoelectric actuators have been presented. On the other hand, there are few studies about how the designs of wings affect flapping. In this study, we made the driving system that replicates the flapping of wings using piezoelectric actuators and change the shapes of wings and the driving methods. We measured the amplitude of them with tracking and observe the change in amplitude with changing conditions. By these results, we discussed the impact of the designs of wings on insect flapping biomimetics.
