Bio-inspired hair-based inertial sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In biology, hair-based sensor systems are used regularly for measurement of physical quantities like acceleration, flow, rotational rate and IR-light. In this chapter, two different types of bio-inspired sensors for inertial measurement are discussed, which have been developed using surface micromachining and SU-8 lithography. First, an accelerometer inspired by the cricket’s clavate hair is presented. Second, a gyroscope inspired by the fly’s haltere is treated. For both sensors are the necessary models presented, and guidelines are derived for optimization. Also, their performance is compared to their biological counterpart and the biomimetic potential is discussed.

Navigation plays a vital role in our daily life. As traditional and commonly used navigation technologies, Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can provide accurate location information, but suffer from the accumulative error of inertial sensors and cannot be used in a satellite denied environment. The remarkable navigation ability of animals shows that...

In this paper, we address sensor fusion for the attitude estimation of Micromechanical Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), in particular a biologically inspired robotic housefly. First, a dynamic observer is proposed which estimates attitude based on kinematic data available from different and redundant bio-inspired sensors such as halteres, ocelli, gravitometers, magnetic compass and light polarization co...

In this paper the effect of parametric amplification in MEMS-based air-flow hairsensors is studied. With an AC-voltage controlled torsional stiffness the rotation of the hair can be influenced. With the appropriate amplitude, phase and frequency, the rotation of the torsional hair system is increased with respect to the case without parametric amplification. Therefore, parametric amplification ...
