Cover Story: Birds use perching as a means to land and take off from different surfaces. This study presents a bioinspired perching mechanism to improve landing and takeoff behavior for a flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle. Mimicking the human hand, the lightweight gripper uses compliant claws actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) springs that simulate muscle movement. The SMA-based system enables fast, bidirectional actuation using short electrical pulses. Optimized for cylindrical grasping, the 50 g gripper integrates SMA springs within its phalanges to reduce size and mass. Tests show a 16 N grasping force, enabling perching, grasping, and carrying tasks. The compact, adaptable design offers a simpler, more efficient alternative to traditional actuators for small-scale MAVs. View this paper
