How to computer simulate flight control of birds or insects ?
Answer Biological flight is quite a complicated combination of feedback and control. We can simulate the motions associated with different types or modes of flight, but to my knowledge not a lot of research has been performed in completing the feedback (use of sensors) to mimic the maneuverability of biological systems. Basically it involves solving the equations of fluid motion, solving a 6 DOF (degree of freedom) system, and utilization of sensors to close the loop… kinda the cutting edge of unsteady simulation…
