Resonant Cantilever Wings for Monolithic MAVs

Abstract

In this paper we present the concept, fabrication, and testing of resonant cantilever wings for monolithic micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). Combining new analytical and computational fluid dynamic work to determine the resonant mode, forces, and power of resonating curved cantilevers, we present a framework to calculate and optimize robot designs for certain figures of merit (i.e., greatest excess power, smallest size, and fastest time for a swarm …
