Robotic Butterfly - Bio Inspired Flapping Wing Mechanism

Insects are able to fly by flapping their wings through a series of upstroke and downstroke movement. The air vortex that is generated underneath the wings, produces an upward force which is known as lift. Objective: To develop a robotic butterfly that claps and flings for enhanced lift generation....
