Nature Communications publishes paper on autonomous perching of ornithopter robots from GRIFFIN ERC Advanced Grant
The prestigious journal Nature Communications has published the paper “How ornithopters can perch autonomously on a branch” (https://lnkd.in/d87ueYUP).
This is a result of the GRIFFIN Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (https://lnkd.in/gmiKa39h ) of Anibal Ollero, that has developed the first flapping and gliding bioinspired robotic birds, with fully autonomous capabilities of flying and perching.
The paper describes the flapping wing robot and the leg-claw system for the autonomous perching on a branch.
This work paves the way towards the application of flapping-wing robots for long range observation and logistic missions, also including manipulation after perching.
New article accepted at IEEE
The paper titled: «Free as a Bird: Event-based Dynamic Sense-and-Avoid for Ornithopter Robot Flight», has been accepted and will be issued in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
The authors: Juan Pablo Rodríguez Gómez, Raúl Tapia, María del Mar Guzmán García, J. Ramiro Martinez de Dios and Anibal Ollero are happy with the results obtained. We are all looking forward to the publishing of the paper 📝🐦🤖.
