Recent progress in flapping wing aerodynamics and aeroelasticity (2010, methodology): “This design was utilized in several MAVs [1,5,6] and served as a common design used for analysis of flapping wings.”
Three-dimensional flows around low-aspect-ratio flat-plate wings at low Reynolds numbers (2009, background): “The Reynolds number at which micro-air-vehicles operate have reached O(104) and will continue to decrease in the coming years (Pines & Bohorquez 2006).”
Unsteady force generation and vortex dynamics of pitching and plunging aerofoils (2012, positive): “MAVs are loosely defined as vehicles with dimension less than 10 cm that operate at Reynolds number (Re) in the range 10(3) to 10(5) [1-3].”
design and control of quadrotors with application to autonomous flying (2007, background): “A short set of requirements was defined in [11] as guidelines for a typical MAV urban mission in the future.”
Trajectory generation and control for precise aggressive maneuvers with quadrotors (2012, background): “There has been exciting progress in micro unmanned aerial vehicle (MAV) research in the past decade (Pines and Bohorquez 2006).”
Minimum snap trajectory generation and control for quadrotors (2011, background): “Thus if e 3 = [0] [0] [1] T , the desired rotation W R B denoted by R des for brevity is given by: R des e 3 = z B,des .”
Energy harvesting by means of flow-induced vibrations on aerospace vehicles (2016, background): “Of particular interest are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) which are designed to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions [1].”
The GRASP Multiple Micro-UAV Testbed (2010, background): “In the last five years, advances in materials, electronics, sensors and batteries have fueled a growth in the development of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) that are between 0.1-0.5 meters in length and 0.1-0.5 kilograms in mass [1].”
Reynolds number and aspect ratio effects on the leading-edge vortex for rotating insect wing planforms (2013, background): “Despite some progress, the performance of these MAVs is still inferior to that of natural flyers (Pines & Bohorquez 2006).”
Micro- and Nano-Air Vehicles: State of the Art (2011, background): “In 2005, Pines and Bohorquez [8] published a review on the state of the art of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), and many of the basic characteristics and challenges identified there are, to a large extent, valid also for NAVs, such as the challenges of maneuverability at low speed in confined spaces.”
Design, modeling, estimation and control for aerial grasping and manipulation (2011, background): “I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, we have seen extensive research on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) [19], [6], [8], [4].”
Towards a swarm of agile micro quadrotors (2012, background): “Rotor crafts, including helicopters, coaxial rotor crafts (Bermes 2010), ducted fans (Pines and Bohorquez 2006), quadrotors (Bouabdallah 2007) and hexarotors, have becomeamaturetechnology(KumarandMichael2011)with quadrotors being the most commonly used aerial platform in robotics research labs.”
Opportunities and challenges with autonomous micro aerial vehicles (2012, background): “Our focus in this paper is mainly on the autonomy of UAVs that have gross weights of the order of 1 kg and below, although it is difficult to limit the discussion only to autonomy since platform development represents a challenge in its own right (Mettler, 2001; Pines and Bohorquez, 2006; Bouabdalla”
