In this paper, we presented the design, integration, and experimental verification of a flapping wing apparatus. The purpose for this apparatus is to provide a framework to study the applicability of various types of sensors on flapping wings in the presence of forward speed. This work is inspired by the discoveries of mechanosensory hairs on insect wings that perform like strain-gauge sensors. To design the apparatus, we started by kinematic analysis of a crank-slider mechanism to actuate the wings. After that, we constructed the equations of motion of the entire system to find the proper gear ratio, motor properties, and other geometric dimensions. For the aerodynamic modeling, we used a quasi-steady formulation and presented a closed-form solution for the aerodynamic torque. Then, we explained the integration process and manufacturing of the main parts and presented two prototypes for the apparatus. At the end, we showed the final constructed versions of the apparatus and presented the experimental response and compared them with the simulation.

This paper presents a novel approach to fall prediction for bipedal robots, specifically targeting the detection of potential falls while standing caused by abrupt, incipient, and intermittent faults. Leveraging a 1D convolutional neural network (CNN), our method aims to maximize lead time for fall prediction while minimizing false positive rates. The proposed algorithm uniquely integrates the detection of various fault types and estimates the lead time for potential falls. Our contributions include the development of an algorithm capable of detecting abrupt, incipient, and intermittent faults in full-sized robots, its implementation using both simulation and hardware data for a humanoid robot, and a method for estimating lead time. Evaluation metrics, including false positive rate, lead time, and response time, demonstrate the efficacy of our approach. Particularly, our model achieves impressive lead times and response times across different fault scenarios with a false positive rate of 0. The findings of this study hold significant implications for enhancing the safety and reliability of bipedal robotic systems.
