In this work, we first present a method to experimentally capture the free flight of a beetle (Allomyrina dichotoma), which is not an active flyer. The beetle is suspended in the air by a hanger to induce the free flight. This flight is filmed using two high-speed cameras. The high speed images are then examined to obtain flapping angle, flapping frequency, and wing rotation of the hind wing. The acquired data of beetle free flight are used to design a motor-driven flapper that can approximately mimic the beetle in terms of size, flapping frequency and wing kinematics. The flapper can create a large flapping angle over 140° with a large passive wing rotation angle. Even though the flapping frequency of the flapper is not high enough compared to that of a real beetle due to the limited motor torque, the flapper could produce positive average vertical force. This work will provide important experience for future development of a beetle-mimicking Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FWMAV).

Purpose: Research on tele-operated excavators that protect the operator from the risk of tip-over excavators in hazardous working areas has increased in popularity. The tele-operated excavator is able to protect workers from risks in hazardous working areas, but the operator cannot directly access the tip-over information from the tele-operated excavator. We propose the static compensation ZMP (Zero Moment Point) algorithm for preventing excavator tip-overs. Method: Firstly, kinematic and kinetic analysis of the excavator was performed. Secondly, static compensation ZMP algorithm, which uses ZMP algorithm to determine gait stability of a biped walking robot, was developed to prevent tips-over of tele-operation excavator. Static compensation ZMP algorithm minimizes ZMP-error due to rapidly changing excavator acceleration using the center of gravity through a static compensation algorithm. Finally, the result of the proposed algorithm is simulated by RecurDyn model with Matlab Simulink co-simulation method. Results & Discussion: In the simulation result ZMP has been compared to static compensation ZMP-algorithm using an excavator dynamic model. From these results we see that the ZMP value is bigger than the static compensation ZMP. This means that the general ZMP is disturbed due to rapidly changing excavator acceleration. This problem is minimized by the static compensation ZMP-algorithm.
