Bird-inspired reflexive morphing enables rudderless flight
2024年11月20日 · In this article, we developed a biomimetic morphing wing and tail robot model (PigeonBot II) to test the biological hypothesis that birds can automatically control and stabilize their flight with morphing wing and tail reflexes and to create a flight-demonstrated engineering model that shows how robots can accomplish rudderless flight by ...
Robotic pigeon reveals how birds fly without a vertical tail fin
2024年11月20日 · A pigeon-inspired robot has solved the mystery of how birds fly without the vertical tail fins that human-designed aircraft rely on.
Pigeon-inspired robot masters flight with bird-like reflexes ...
2024年11月20日 · To regulate its movements, researchers developed PigeonBot II, a bioinspired aerial robot with morphing wings and a tail designed to mimic bird-like movements using a biomimetic skeleton and...
Bio-Inspired Morphing Tail for Flapping-Wings Aerial Robots
2021年3月25日 · The aim of this work is to present the development of a bio-inspired approach for a robotic tail using Macro Fiber Composites (MFC) as actuators. The use of this technology will allow achieving closer to the nature approach of the tail, aiming to mimic a bird tail behavior.
Birdlike robot flies steady without a vertical tail
2024年12月12日 · The bird-shaped robot with real bird feathers flies autonomously, using changes in both the wings and the tail feathers to respond to position shifts and altitude changes. The wings’ asymmetrical adjustments are able to counter larger-scale roll instabilities, and the tail feathers counter smaller yaw perturbations.
Design and Integration of a Novel Spatial Articulated Robotic Tail
2019年2月6日 · The roll-revolute-revolute robotic tail (R3RT) is a serpentine robotic structure with a roll-DOF at the tail base, and two independently actuated co-planar bending segments composed of...
Enhanced Aerial Reorientation Performance Using a 3-DoF …
We proposed a novel 3-DoF morphable inertial tail with rapid response and integrated it into a robot platform for experimental validation. Analysis, simulation, and experimental results validated that the proposed approach effectively enhanced the robot's aerial reorientation capabilities.
Design and Integration of a Novel Spatial Articulated Robotic Tail
This paper presents a novel robotic tail system capable of spatial motion to generate spatial loading. The roll-revolute-revolute robotic tail (R3RT) is a serpentine robotic structure with a roll-DOF at the tail base, and two independently actuated coplanar bending segments composed of several links connected by parallel revolute joints.
Tailing new ideas - College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon …
2021年4月16日 · The cheetah’s lightweight furry tail is known as an aerodynamic drag tail; that is, it acts sort of like a parachute. Most robotic tails have high inertia, but the cheetah manages to retain low inertia.
[PDF] Robotic tails: a state-of-the-art review - Semantic Scholar
A novel robotic tail system capable of spatial motion to generate spatial loading, and a dynamic model of the tail is presented, along with considerations for sensing the robot's state and controlling the tail.
