Researchers develop control system that helps bird-inspired robots stay stable in windy conditions

Newly developed control method overcomes unexpected movements, improving disturbance rejection and reducing X-axis position error by 53.1 percent Small flapping-wing (FW) robots could support applications such as inspection and search and rescue. However, they are highly susceptible to disturbances such as wind gusts, making stable flight challenging. Researchers from Japan’s Chiba University investigated the flight…
