Implementation of a Biomimetic Flapping-Wing Robot Based on Internet of Things Technology

The purpose of this study is to complete the design, production and implementation of the machine animal of bionic bird. Objectives of this paper was on design and manufacture of small-scale flight mechanism with a pair of wings. The implementation of mechanical structure, system integration of the bionic robot bird platform and the design of controller has completed. It has flight, remote control, attitude feedback ability. The point of this paper, is to construct the image transmission system and integrates with the bionic robot bird platform. Based on the system platform we established above, adding the camera lens, image transmission and other modules to the fuselage. And the interface of the original system is integrated and compatible. Dynamic sensors are used to measure flight information of the bionic robot bird. Moreover, according to image transmission unit, the bionic robot bird has the ability of aerial photography. Finally, the remote images from the flying robot bird are provided to other platform by using the network of the ground control center, in purpose to integrate the function of the Internet of Things (IoT) .
