Design of a Flapping Wings Butterfly Robot based on Aerodynamics Force

K. Sukvichai and K. Yajai

Inspired by insect flight, this study designs a flapping-wing butterfly robot using aerodynamic and aeroelastic analysis. Airflow simulations and quasi-steady thin-airfoil theory were used to derive lift and thrust, and integrated sectional lift determined average lift for wing sizing. Wings were fabricated from laminar plastic with carbon-fiber reinforcement, driven by dual servos and mounted on a 3D-printed PLA body. Experiments show the robot can take off from a support platform and fly to a certain height. This research was conducted by Kanjanapan Sukvichai and Kan Yajai.
