The invention is a robotic bird that uses flapping flight for lift and propulsion. The bird has a body, two wings, tail and head with a beak in addition to on-board electronics and batteries. Each wing is controlled separately by four motors. One motor controls the flapping, one the angle of attack (wing tilt), one the degree of morphing and folding of5the wing and one the horizontal motion of the wing. The tail is controlled by three servomotors, one for up and down motion, one for tilting and one for spreading the tail feathers. Thus, the bird has 11 degrees of freedom in total in its wings and tail. This design allows the use of evolutionary methods for teaching the bird to fly in a much more efficient way than has previously been possible.
本发明是一种利用拍动飞行来上升和推进的机器鸟。除了机载电子装置和电池外,该鸟还具有主体、两个机翼、尾部和具有喙的头部。每个机翼由四个电机单独地控制。一个电机控制拍动,一个电机控制迎角(机翼倾斜),一个电机控制机翼的变形和折叠的程度,并且一个电机控制机翼的水平运动。尾部由三个伺服电机控制,一个伺服电机用于上下运动,一个伺服电机用于倾斜并且一个伺服电机用于展开尾部羽毛。因此,鸟在其机翼和尾部上总共具有11个自由度。这种设计允许使用进化方法来教导鸟以比以前可能的方式更有效的方式飞行。
