A Lightweight Bioinspired SMA-Based Grasping Mechanism for Flapping Wing MAVs

A Lightweight Bioinspired SMA-Based Grasping Mechanism for Flapping Wing MAVs

This study presents a novel, bioinspired perching mechanism designed to enhance the landing and takeoff capabilities of flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs). Drawing inspiration from the human hand, the lightweight gripper integrates a compliant claw structure actuated by shape memory alloys...
