A Drone with Insect-Inspired Folding Wings

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Kevin Nicholas Cradock Owen

Flying robots are increasingly adopted in search and rescue missions because of their capability to quickly collect and stream information from remote and dangerous areas. To further enhance their use, we are investigating the development of a new class of ...

A Directional Modifier-Adaptation Algorithm for Real-Time Optimization

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Sean Costello

The steady advances of computational methods make model-based optimization an increasingly attractive method for process improvement. Unfortunately, the available models are often inaccurate. The traditional remedy is to update the model parameters, but th ...

Experimental Validation of the Wing-Aileron-Tab Combination Applied to an Actively Controlled Bridge Section Model

Alcherio Martinoli, Klara Maria Boberg, Glauco Feltrin

In this work we investigate the applicability of the wing-aileron-tab model for a bridge section model being actively controlled with leading and trailing edge flaps. The structural and aerodynamic model parameters have been extracted experimentally from a ...

Evolution of the Aerodynamic Stability of an Oscillating Annular Compressor Cascade with Inlet Reverse Flow Condition Variations

Peter Ott, Virginie Anne Chenaux

While the advancement of computing hardware now enables accurate predictions of flutter and forced response at normal flow conditions during the compressor design phase, aeroelastic computations at off-design or reverse flow conditions remain a challenging ...

Enhanced second harmonic generation from InAs nano-wing structures on silicon

Eleonora Russo, Anna Dalmau Mallorquí, Ignasi Canales Mundet

We demonstrate morphology-dependent second-harmonic generation (SHG) from InAs V-shaped nanomembranes. We show SHG correlation with the nano-wing shape and size, experimentally quantify the SHG efficiency, and demonstrate a maximum SHG enhancement of about ...

Electrostatic torsional vertical flaps for reflective MEMS display

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Fabio Jutzi

A new kind of high contrast, MEMS-based reflective display system is being developed. The system consists of light reflective flaps on an optically absorptive surface. The novelty is that the flaps are in vertical position at their rest state. They can be ...

Reynolds flocking in reality with fixed-wing robots: communication range vs. maximum turning rate

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven, Maja Varga

The success of swarm behaviors often depends on the range at which robots can communicate and the speed at which they change their behavior. Challenges arise when the communication range is too small with respect to the dynamics of the robot, preventing in ...

Energy Management for Indoor Hovering Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, James Roberts

Flying has an advantage when compared to ground based locomotion, as it simplifies the task of overcoming obstacles and allows for rapid coverage of an area while also providing a birds-eye-view of the environment. One of the key challenges that has preven ...
