In addition to controlling the shared flapping frequency and the rotation of the individual wings, amplitude control is used in each of the four wings. The pivoting of the wings determines the direction of thrust. Amplitude control is used to regulate the amount of thrust. When these are combined, the smartphone-controlled dragonfly can assume almost any position in the space.
Whether in cutting-edge bionic technology solutions or in day-to-day industry, we believe that the principle of ongoing diagnosis guarantees operational reliability and process stability. During flight, software therefore continuously records sensor data, evaluates it in real time and thereby recognises complex events and critical states.
