| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanisms of flight and swimming by flexible flapping wings of living organisms were clarified, and methods to implement them in soft robots were studied. The elasticity of the driving mechanism of flapping wings and wings themselves was found to improve efficiency and robustness against disturbances. For example, in forward swimming of penguins, the wings bent and deformed during flapping, improving propulsion efficiency. In hovering hummingbirds and hawkmoths, experiments using robot models showed that elasticity of the flapping axis improved efficiency and elasticity around the long axis of the wing improved robustness.
