B2 (3D-Printed Bat Robot) Closed-Loop Flight Control Update (2016 IEEE ICRA)

Published on Mar 24, 2016

A microprocessor-based onboard computer, a 6 DOF IMU sensor package, five DC motors with encoder feedback for flapping and wing articulation (asymmetric wing folding and leg/tail control), power/comm electronics, carbon-fiber frame, 3D printed parts, and silicone based membrane wings -- all at 92 grams.

No motion capture system was used for indoor closed-loop control flight.
