Longitudinal grey-box model identification of a tailless flapping wing mav based on free-flight dataNijboer, J. B.W. (author), Armanini, S.F. (author), Karasek, M. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)Tailless flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FMWAVs) are known for their light weight and agility. However, given the fact that these FWMAVs have been developed only recently, their flight dynamics have not yet been fully explained. In this paper we develop grey-box models for the time-averaged longitudinal dynamics of a tailless FWMAV ...conference paper 2020

Armanini, S.F. (author), Caetano, J. V. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Despite significant interest in tailless flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle designs, tailed configurations are often favoured, as they offer many benefits, such as static stability and a simpler control strategy, separating wing and tail control. However, the tail aerodynamics are highly complex due to the interaction between the unsteady...journal article 2019

Goedhart, Menno (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Armanini, S.F. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Flight control of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles is challenging, because of their complex dynamics and variability due to manufacturing inconsistencies. Machine Learning algorithms can be used to tackle these challenges. A Policy Gradient algorithm is used to tune the gains of a Proportional-Integral controller using Reinforcement Learning. A...conference paper 2018

Armanini, S.F. (author), Karasek, M. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)Biologically-inspired flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles are characterised by nonlinear, unsteady aerodynamics and complex dynamics, both highly challenging to model. To take full advantage of the flight capabilities of such vehicles, it is necessary to obtain insight into their dynamics in the different flyable conditions, and to provide...conference paper 2018

Rijks, Frank (author), Karasek, M. (author), Armanini, S.F. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)The effects of the horizontal tail surface on the longitudinal dynamics of an or- nithopter were studied by systematically varying its surface area, aspect ratio and its longitudinal position. The objective is to improve the understanding of the tail effect on the behaviour of the ornithopter and to assess if simple models based on tail geometry...conference paper 2018

Armanini, S.F. (author), Karasek, M. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)Taking full advantage of the favorable flight properties of biologically inspired flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles requires having insight into their dynamics and providing adequate control in all flight conditions. Because of the high complexity of flapping flight and limited availability of accurate flight data, however, global models are...journal article 2018
