An Agile Samara-Inspired Single-Actuator Aerial Robot Capable of Autorotation and Diving

Large scale aerial deployment of miniature sensors in tough environmental conditions requires a deployment device that is lightweight, robust, and steerable. We present a novel samara-inspired autorotating craft that is capable of two flight modes (autorotating mode and diving mode) with an average glide angle of 28.9$^{\circ }$更多
