Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled flight of a microrobot powered by soft artificial muscles
Yufeng Chen,Yufeng Chen,Yufeng Chen,Huichan Zhao,Jie Mao,Jie Mao,Pakpong Chirarattananon,E. Farrell Helbling,E. Farrell Helbling,Nak-seung Patrick Hyun,Nak-seung Patrick Hyun,David R. Clarke,Robert J. Wood,Robert J. Wood +13 more
TL;DR: Heavier-than-air insect-scale aerial robots powered by soft artificial muscles can hover and also recover from in-flight collisions, illustrating the potential for developing next-generation agile soft robots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Untethered flight of an insect-sized flapping-wing microscale aerial vehicle
Noah T. Jafferis,Noah T. Jafferis,E. Farrell Helbling,E. Farrell Helbling,Michael Karpelson,Robert J. Wood,Robert J. Wood +6 more
TL;DR: This insect-scale aerial vehicle is the lightest thus far to achieve sustained untethered flight (as opposed to impulsive jumping8 or liftoff) and matches the thrust efficiency of similarly sized insects such as bees.
Journal ArticleDOI
A biologically inspired, flapping-wing, hybrid aerial-aquatic microrobot
Yufeng Chen,Yufeng Chen,Hongqiang Wang,Hongqiang Wang,E. Farrell Helbling,E. Farrell Helbling,Noah T. Jafferis,Noah T. Jafferis,Raphael Zufferey,Aaron Ong,Aaron Ong,Aaron Ong,Kevin Y. Ma,Kevin Y. Ma,Nick Gravish,Pakpong Chirarattananon,M. Kovac,Robert J. Wood,Robert J. Wood +18 more
TL;DR: This work analyzes the dynamics of flapping locomotion in an aquatic environment, identifies the challenges and benefits of surface tension effects on microrobots, and further develops a suite of new mesoscale devices that culminate in a hybrid, aerial-aquaticmicrorobot.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Propulsion, Power, and Control Architectures for Insect-Scale Flapping-Wing Vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the recent developments in the design of small-scale flapping wing MAVs, specifically discussing the various power and actuation technologies selected at various vehicle scales as well as the control architecture and onboard the vehicle.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Pitch and yaw control of a robotic insect using an onboard magnetometer
TL;DR: An onboard analog magnetometer is considered that meets the size, weight, and power requirements for the RoboBee and can provide feedback on angular position for pitch and yaw angle control and provides an accurate angle reading despite proximity to the piezoelectric actuators of this vehicle.
