Abstract

Altitude control of insect-like Flapping-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles is an intrinsically multidisciplinary problem, in which several engineering aspects must be considered simultaneously, including aerodynamics, sensing, signal generation, micro-fabrication and control theory. Because of complexity and uncertainty of aerodynamic modeling, we used the method of combining theoretical analysis and system identification experiment. In the first stage, according to theoretical analysis of the lift force model, amplitude modulation and frequency modulation is the key method to modulate lift force. Then obtained static system dynamics model by system identification experiment, and got its resonant frequency is 129 Hz from the bode diagram. The design of the controller relies on the modified identified model which is treat an excitation signal as a subsystem of the vehicle, avoiding measurement of the piezoelectric actuator displacement in flight. This work is a key promotion and also is of great significance to realize auto-controlled flight of FWMAV.
