Design and Kinematic Analysis of Gull Inspired Flapping Wing Model

Abstract:

A flapping wing mimicking the Black Headed Gull was developed and tested for its kinematics. All the individual joints in the gull wing, namely the shoulder, elbow and wrist joint were mimicked with their corresponding functionalities. The shoulder joint is designed to control the flapping frequency, flapping amplitude, flapping plane and the speed of the upstroke-downstroke. Similarly, the elbow and wrist joints control the upstroke span reduction and twisting of the wing, respectively. Geometry, inertia, mass and frequency data of the gull were used to model the wing. A control input program was designed for the independent control of all the 6 joints (3 per wing). The motion of the manufactured wing system was verified using LASER Displacement Sensor.
