Characterizing pitch and roll torque coupling in insect-sized flapping-wing robots using a microfabricated gimbal
Aaron Weber, Daksh Dhingra, Sawyer B. Fuller
Sub-gram flapping-wing flying insect robots (FIRs) are challenging to model because of mechanical complexity in their wings, unsteady aerodynamic flow, and the difficulty of making…

Simulated Annealing for Multi-Robot Ergodic Information Acquisition Using Graph-Based Discretization
Benjamin Wong, Aaron Weber, Mohamed M. Safwat +2
One of the goals of active information acquisition using multi-robot teams is to keep the relative uncertainty in each region at the same level to maintain identical acquisition qu…

TinySense: A Lighter Weight and More Power-efficient Avionics System for Flying Insect-scale Robots
Zhitao Yu, Joshua Tran, Claire Li +3
In this paper, we introduce advances in the sensor suite of an autonomous flying insect robot (FIR) weighing less than a gram. FIRs, because of their small weight and size, offer u…
