Abstract
This paper discusses a major application of flexible micro actuators in Micro Air Vehicles (MAV). Design, Kinematics, flapping patterns, performance tests of flapping wing mechanism which replicates dragonfly and corresponding results are discussed in this paper. This paper also discusses artificial foldable wing models by mimicking the unfolding/folding of beetle hind wing in which the actuation is triggered by electrically activated Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires.
