| description | Flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) are recognized for their significant potential in military and civilian applications, such as military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and disaster rescue. However, the lack of takeoff and landing capabilities, particularly in landing behavior, greatly limits their adaptability to the environment during tasks. In this paper, the purple stem beetle (<i>Sagra femorata</i>), a natural flying insect, was chosen as the bionic research object. The three-dimensional reconstruction models of the beetle’s three thoracic legs were established, and the adhesive mechanism of the thoracic leg was analyzed. Then, a series of bionic design elements were extracted. On this basis, a hook-pad cooperation bionic deployable landing mechanism was designed, and mechanism motion, mechanical performance, and vibration performance were studied. Finally, the bionic landing mechanism model can land stably on various contact surfaces. The results of this research guide the stable landing capability of FWMAVs in challenging environments. |
