Different from birds, bats, flies, and other flying creatures that generate propulsions by
flap** a pair of wings, butterflies with two pairs of wings have their peculiar flight …

Unlike other insects, a butterfly uses a small amplitude of the wing-pitch motion for flight.
From an analysis of the dynamics of real flying butterflies, we show that the restrained …

This study investigates the free-turning flight of butterflies (Idea leuconoe) and analyze the
influence of body posture and asymmetric motions of left and right wings on aerodynamics …

As eusocial creatures, bees display unique macro collective behavior and local body
dynamics that hold potential applications in various fields, such as computer animation …

Insects use dynamic articulation and actuation of their abdomen and other appendages to
augment aerodynamic flight control. These dynamic phenomena in flight serve many …

The incredibly efficient and agile flight abilities of butterflies have become the inspiration for
the design of butterfly-inspired flap**-wing robots, but their intricate flight mechanisms …

This paper presents a dynamic model and a control system for a flap**-wing unmanned
aerial vehicle. Inspired by flight characteristics captured from live Monarch butterflies, a new …

This letter presents a data-driven optimal control policy for a micro flap** wing unmanned
aerial vehicle. First, a set of optimal trajectories are computed off-line based on a geometric …

Butterflies are not only ubiquitous around the world but are also widely known for inspiring
thrill resonance, with their elegant and peculiar flights. However, realistically modeling and …

The main aim of this paper is to model and simulate flight dynamics and to design a
controller for a dragonfly-like micro aerial vehicle (MAV). This MAV has flap** wings using …
