摘要: This paper presents microfabricated flapping-wings for insect-inspired flying robots. To the authors' knowledge, this is first report of any such MEMS devices application. work a component on-going efforts by US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in developing millimeter-scale robotic platforms using thin-film lead zirconium titanate (PZT) actuators. Micromachined wing-structures have been successfully fabricated and experimental results flapping frequency stroke-amplitude from set wing designs varying material composition dimensions. These establish feasibility achieving stroke amplitudes comparable to insects with PiezoMEMS technology.
