Abstract: insects flap their wings to lift bodies and move to any directions they want. Although it is very complex whatever the motions or body structures of insects, every kind of insect has the best harmonious whole after long evolutionary. How can we design air vehicle inspired by insects? The power transmission system is one of the most important parts in the design. The case of Delfly will be as the investigated objective in the report.
1. Introduction
The developing miniaturization of electro-mechanical technologies offers engineers more supports on inventing mini size robot. The micro air vehicle is the mini robot that has broad market prospect. Therefore, many companies and
