This document discusses micro air vehicles (MAVs) with flapping wings. It defines MAVs as unmanned aerial vehicles that are less than 15cm long and weigh less than 4 ounces. They can perform military, commercial, and urban surveillance missions with lightweight designs. MAVs require high resolution sensors, lightweight materials like balsa wood and composites, electric motors and batteries. Flapping wing designs provide more lift than fixed wings. Future work aims to further minimize size and weight while improving flight speed, stability, and battery life. Kelvin's circulation theorem and how flapping wings generate lift through diverting airflow are also summarized.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a Drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. UAVs can be remote controlled aircraft (e.g. flown by a pilot at a ground control station) or can fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems
A UAV is defined as being capable of controlled, sustained level flight and powered by a jet or reciprocating engine. In addition, a cruise missile can be considered to be a UAV, but is treated separately on the basis that the vehicle is the weapon.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are aircrafts that fly without any humans being onboard. They are either remotely piloted, or piloted by an onboard computer. This kind of aircrafts can be used in different military missions such as surveillance, reconnaissance, battle damage assessment, communications relay, minesweeping, hazardous substances detection and radar jamming. However they can be used in other than military missions like detection of hazardous objects on train rails and investigation of infected areas. Aircrafts that are able of hovering and vertical flying can also be used for indoor missions like counter terrorist operations

Micro-sized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or micro Air Vehicles (MAVs),are used to acquire real-time visual information for a wide range of applications.
Grids are already developing offshore, and this development will continue even though at what pace and how they will develop is still uncertain. Indeed, there are different possible configurations for a future offshore grid: it can be a simple multiplication of standalone lines that provide each a single service (either connection of generation, or connection between transmission grids); or it can be a more integrated infrastructure like an offshore meshed grid that combines and interconnects dozens of offshore lines and generation units (hereafter combined solution).

Design and analysis of wing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle using CFDPranit Dhole
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an important technology for military and security application. Various missions can be done using UAV such as surveillance in unknown areas, forestry conservation, and spying enemy territory. Selection of components such as aerofoil plays huge roll in performers of UAV in terms of lift, drag, load carrying capacity, range etc.
This project presents an approach for designing of wing by selecting proper aerofoil and CFD analysis for verifying aerodynamics characteristics.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Best ppt on Micro air vehicle with flapping wings
1. MICRO AIR VEHICLES (MAV)
WITH FLAPPING WINGS
BY -RONAK THAKAREGUIDED BY – Prof. AMRUTA DURAGKAR
2. What are Micro Air Vehicles?
• A Micro Air Vehicle (MAV), or micro aerial
vehicle, is a class of unmanned vehicles (UAV).
• DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Project
Agency) defines- less than 6 inch(15cm) and 4
ounce weight.
• Semi-autonomous.
• Remote observation of hazardous environments.
• Military capability and Fully-functional.
• Lift for flight is made with rotary wings and
flapping wings.
1
5. MAV REQUIREMENTS
• High image resolution.
• Lightweight.
• Affordable.
• Secret/hidden.
• Safe & simple to operate.
• Easy to repair.
• Rapid electronic connectivity.
4
Based on the missions, an MAV require:
6. SHAPE OF MAVs
• Fixed wing aircraft- Names
like“Trocoid”, “Micro
STAR”, “Flyswatter”, “MITE”, “Batplane”,
“Wasp”
• Rotary wing aircraft- “Micro Craft
iSTAR”, “Gyrosaucer”,“Helirocket”, and
“MICOR”
• Flapping wing air craft-
“Entomopher” and “Microbat”.
5
The Wasp
Micro Craft iSTAR
The Microbat
7. KELVIN’S IDEA
• Kelvin’s circulation theorem, the net circulation
around the insect body is zero.
• Equal & opposite circulation causes lift.
• Ordinary insects, this build-up of high lift coefficient is
delayed.
• One species of insects, Encarsia Formosa, which avoid
any delay in built up of maximum lift.
8. WORKING PRINCIPLE
1] Air comes straight at the wing
•Air comes straight at the wings, bends around it and then
behind the wing.leaves straight
•There is no net action on the air so there can be no lift.
9. 2] Air passing over the wing
•Fig. shows the streamlines, as is the action.
•The air passes over the wing and is bent down.
•As Newton’s laws suggests, the wing must change
something of the air to get lift.
•Changes in the air’s momentum will result in forces on the wing.
•To generate lift, a wing must divert air down .
10. MATERIALS USED FOR
AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION
• Balsa wood
• Foam polystyrene
• Foam with a single layer of epoxy fiberglass
coating.
• Carbon Fiber
• Composite (Kevlar or Fiberglass)
9
14. ADVANTAGES
• Less size& weight.
• Low power requirements.
• High reusability.
• Speed 10-15 m/sec, not detected by most Radars.
• High stability and control.
• High lift and slow landing speed.
• Can be individually controlled.
• Wide range of new missions.
17
15. DISADVANTAGES
• Low image quality due to blurring.
• Small range of communication.
• Very difficult to design flapping wing mechanism.
• Very difficult to control MAVs in bad weather.
• Very expensive to design MAVs.
• Lithium batteries are expensive, compared to the
common alkaline batteries.
18
16. FUTURE WORK
• Use lighter materials, for the frame of MAV,the
controllers, the gyroscope for stabilizing.
• Developing small power sources.
• Designs to achieve high flight speeds better
stability in air.
• The overall aim will be to minimize the size and
weight, to increase the speed, and to maximize the
battery life for MAV.
19
17. CONCLUSIONS
• Time of MAVs have arrived. Micro Air Vehicles
are the new technology by which a variety of
operations are done.
• Flapping mechanism have more lift compared
to fixed wing mechanism.
• Also it can increase the lift without increasing
the vehicle speed.
• Simple flapping, does not generate sufficient
lift.
