Feng Gaoyu et al, university of electronic technology, in the design and optimization of wings of a hummingbird-like flapping-wing micro flying robot, provides a hummingbird-like aircraft which uses a four-bar linkage mechanism for transmission, has wing freedom only including rotation of a wing root in the vertical direction, is too different from a real hummingbird wing, cannot complete forward and backward operations, cannot control self rolling, has high sensitivity to external interference and poor stability. Although the airfoil is of a resilient material, the airfoil has limited deformation during flapping of the airfoil, resulting in a very inefficient generation of lift, which is noisy when it is sufficient to counter gravity. The structural defects described above directly result in the hummingbird vehicle hovering at most for a short time, destabilizing with slight disturbances, so that the vehicle is not controllable and does not have the potential to develop into a "swarm" vehicle.
Very small hummingbirds can hover and have high air flight skills, but the related research of the current flapping wing air vehicle has great defects compared with hummingbirds in nature: the flapping wing air vehicle cannot stably hover, the wings of the flapping wing air vehicle are far less flexible than the wings of the hummingbirds, the wings cannot generate large lift force when the wings have small mass due to the materials and the structures of the wings, and the hummingbirds are large in size and difficult to control due to the defects of the mechanical structure for driving the wings to flap and the materials of the mechanical structure.
