Current Status of insect-inspired Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles

The insect-inspired Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles(FWMAV) has always been a one of the research focuses and difficulties in the field of bionic unmanned micro-systems. Because the FWMAV’s small size, high concealment, flexibility, which has a broad application prospect. In this paper, the development process and critical technologies of insect-inspired FWMAV were introduced and summarized according to the driving methods that commonly used in insect-inspired FWMAV: piezoelectric drive, motor drive, electromagnetic drive, and others.
