Abstract

Drones represent an important part of the shipsets’ domain. There are different application areas and depending on the field of application, problems of stability, trajectory correction and autonomy arise. The flying wings drones are one of the drones’ categories inspired from birds flying technique. This category of drones has several problems quite different from the classical drones. Among these problems we can identify the drone hunter issue. To solve this problem, we propose a solution inspired from the wood crickets. In fact, the crickets are extremely fast as they can process information locally. They have a kind of “back brains” that process the information locally and control the movement of their legs. Unlike human who strictly send all information to the main brain that treat them and make a reaction, the cricket has several brains inside the body, so that it can send the information about the airflow to small brains behind its legs. These little back brains not only process the information about the airflow that comes from the crests and their multiple hairs, but also controls the movement of the rear legs. This unusual performance of the crickets’ crests hair was the origin of our research contribution. We therefore propose a biometric flow camera based on several electronic hairs connected together. We have selected REMANTA as a winged drone to implement our proposed solution. We will integrate our micro-sensors in this 10 cm dimensions drone to solve three problems: trajectory correction, stability, and enemy avoidance.
