Abstract

In recent years, bat-inspired robots have gained significant attention in the field of automation due to their unique flying mechanisms. This paper presents the design of a multi-degree-of-freedom flapping-wing robot modeled after bats, focusing on its structural design, motion control methods, and performance evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate that the robot is capable of executing multidimensional flight maneuvers with high flexibility and adaptability, offering a novel solution for the field of bioinspired robotics.
