This project aims to deepen the understanding of flapping flight by studying the dynamics of a robotic bird, the Robird. It seeks to enhance its capabilities, enabling it to take off, land, and maneuver like real birds, using advanced modeling and experimental validation.
Flapping flight is one of the wonders of nature and has been vastly studied by biologists and fluid dynamicists.
Many artifacts that mimic biological systems have been built at different scales.For example, we have managed to create a system that resembles the steady flapping behaviour of its biological counterpart and can fly untethered, stably up to 80 km/h in up to 5 Beaufort wind speed.
This is the Robird developed at the University of Twente, which got the 2016 ERF Tech Transfer Award, and…
