Abstract
Lift force and specification requirements for a dragonfly-scale flapping flight robot are quantitatively investigated by using fluid-structure interaction analysis. For the robotics application of flapping flight, the specifications of actuators and energy sources to generate a certain lift force are essential to design a realistic robot. However, these parameters have been poorly studied because of the difficulty of small-scale unsteady aerodynamics interacting with flapping wings. In the present paper, we show the quantitative evaluation of these parameters in a design of realistic 2DOF actuator by using a fluid-structure interaction analysis based on arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method.
