Abstract

Using wind to disperse microfliers that fall like seeds and leaves can help automate large-scale sensor deployments. Here, we present battery-free microfliers that can change shape in mid-air to vary their dispersal distance. We designed origami microfliers using bistable leaf-out structures and uncovered an important property: A simple change in the shape of these origami structures causes two dramatically different falling behaviors. When unfolded and flat, the microfliers exhibit a tumbling behavior that increases lateral displacement in the wind. When folded inward, their orientation is stabilized, resulting in a downward descent that is less influenced by wind. To electronically transition between these two shapes, we designed a low-power electromagnetic actuator that produces peak forces of up to 200 millinewtons within 25 milliseconds while powered by solar cells. We fabricated a circuit directly on the folded origami structure that includes a programmable microcontroller, a Bluetooth radio, a solar power-harvesting circuit, a pressure sensor to estimate altitude, and a temperature sensor. Outdoor evaluations show that our 414-milligram origami microfliers were able to electronically change their shape mid-air, travel up to 98 meters in a light breeze, and wirelessly transmit data via Bluetooth up to 60 meters away, using only power collected from the sun.

摘要

利用风力来散布像种子和树叶一样飘落的微型飞行器,有助于实现大规模传感器部署的自动化。在此,我们展示了一种无需电池的微型飞行器,它能够在半空中改变形状,从而改变其散布距离。我们利用双稳态叶片状结构设计了折纸微型飞行器,并发现了一个重要特性:这些折纸结构形状的简单改变会导致两种截然不同的下落行为。当展开并呈扁平状时,微型飞行器表现出翻滚行为,这会增加其在风中的横向位移。当向内折叠时,它们的方向会稳定下来,从而实现受风力影响较小的向下下降。为了在这两种形状之间进行电子转换,我们设计了一种低功耗电磁致动器,该致动器在由太阳能电池供电时,能在25毫秒内产生高达200毫牛顿的峰值力。我们直接在折叠后的折纸结构上制作了一个电路,该电路包括一个可编程微控制器、一个蓝牙无线电、一个太阳能收集电路、一个用于估计高度的压力传感器和一个温度传感器。户外评估表明,我们414毫克重的折纸微型飞行器能够在半空中电子改变形状,在微风中飞行高达98米,并通过蓝牙在60米外无线传输数据,而且仅使用从太阳收集的能量。
