Effects of Elastic Hinges on Input Torque Requirements for a Motorized Indirect-Driven Flapping-Wing Compliant Transmission Mechanism

This paper presents compliant transmission mechanisms for a flapping-wing micro air vehicle. The purpose of this mechanism is to reduce power consumption, a critical issue in this kind of vehicles, as well as to minimize the peak input torque required by the driving motor, which helps to maintain fl...
