Abstract

This paper presents the realization of sustained flight of a flapping wing robot. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have attracted a significant amount of attention in recent years due to their ability of flight. One of the UAVs attracting attention is the flapping robot like a bird. The robot can fly in the sky, and is safer than rotorcrafts such as helicopter and multicopter since the operating frequency is much less than rotorcrafts. In our previous paper, flapping wing robot with oscillating controlled RC servomotors has been developed and succeeded in a flight of 30m. However, long-distance and sustained flight is not realized yet. The purpose of this research is the realization of sustained flight of the flapping wing robot. We redesign and improve the flapping robot. Moreover, we make a catapult for achieving reproducible flight experiments.
