Researchers from Centro de Automtica y Robtica (Universidad Politcnica de Madrid) and fromBrown University carried out a really low investigate about the definite actions of bat flight, whose best objective is to replicate the capabilities of bat's wings by means of an ad-hoc written micro aerial van (MAV).
From the home page of the plan :
[...] this investigate is oriented towards the growth of a biological desirous bat drudge platform, that allows to simulate the extraordinary maneuverability of these drifting mammals. The rarely maneuverability is completed by reproducing the waving and morphing capabilities of their wing-skeleton structure. This make up is calm by a few joints and a surface that generates the compulsory lift forces to fly.
To mimmic the robust network that moves the joints of the wing-bones, Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) NiTi wires are used as artificial-muscles. Several challenges in determining this SMA-based actuation network are regarded in this research.
A lot of investigate work has already been carried out (see here for a list of publications) and a bat-like MAV antecedent has been written and implemented to both weigh and countenance the investigate outcomes. Among the other stuff, the core onboard electronic is made up of an arduino-based board, an IMU, a air wave transceiver and a rechargeable LiPo battery.
