Energy-Based Design of Reconfigurable Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) Flight Structures

Abstract

The objective of the project is to understand how to mechanize multi-jointed MAV wings for perching and/or flapping applications and develop an energy-based design framework for the solution of combined multi-physics, multi-objective problems.
