Optimizing the structure and movement of a robotic bat with biological kinematic synergies
… we present methods to optimize the design and flight characteristics of a biologically-inspired bat-like robot. Recent work has designed the topological structure for the wing kinematics of this robot; here we present methods to optimize the geometry of this structure, and to compute actuator …

Analyzing the complexity of bat flight to inspire the design of flapping-flight drones
With their exceptionally maneuverable flapping flight, bats could serve as a model for enhancing the flight abilities for future drones. However, bat flight is extremely complex and there are many engineering restrictions that prevent a flapping-flight drone from replicating the many degrees of …

Applications of Data-Driven Learning Models in Fluid Mechanics: Solid-Fluid Multiphase Systems and Bat Flight
… solid arrays, and (3) data-driven analysis of bat flight kinematics. First, we address the challenge of accurately predicting individual particle drag forces in dense suspensions. Meso-scale models such as CFD-DEM often rely on empirical drag correlations that neglect microscale …

From Oscillating Flat Plate to Maneuvering Bat Flight – Role of Kinematics, Aerodynamics, and Inertia
… to understand the synergistic roles played by kinematics, aerodynamics, and inertia in flapping wing maneuvers, this thesis first investigates the plunging motion of a simple flat plate as it is a fundamental motion in the kinematics of many flying animals. A wide range of frequency (k) and …
