Abstract

In this paper, my purpose is suggestion for design method for actuating system of flapping robot. It is necessary to develop that. Considering the drag of flapping wings and the characteristic of motor revolution for its load, the actuating system of flapping robot is modeled. The motor whose resultant flapping frequency and wing loading required for flapping robot is selected, and flapping robot is developed by that result. As the result, the flapping robot can fly stably for about 15 minutes. Moreover, the design method is effective in case of attaching important to the increase in flight altitude by clarifying that flapping frequency play an important role for control of flight altitude.
