Biomimetic Flip-and-Flap Strategy of Flying Objects for Perching on Inclined Surfaces

摘要: Animals can use the maneuver of a flipping body and flapping wings to reduce normal rebound force impact during landing, decreasing adsorption required by contact point. This capability aids aerial vehicles with landing not only on vertical surfaces, but also inclined surfaces. In this study, “ flip-and-flap ” biomimetic strategy is presented that enables high-speed flying object perch surfaces without speed reduction before touchdown. During perching, kinetic energy vehicle first converted potential upward customized extended leg. Then, controlled thrust, consumed downward-swing phase. Thus, land smoothly wall. Simplified multilink models were designed simulate object, dynamic interaction between an extended-leg mechanism surface was elaborated. A set experiments perching performed proposed leg, demonstrating effectiveness robustness strategy.
