Abstract :
This paper presents autonomous flight control of flapping-of-wings robot. The positions of the robot and destination point are measured by GPS sensor. We propose a simple control algorithm to make the robot approach to the destination point. In order to evaluate the algorithm, we show the computer simulation which takes influences of the measurement error of GPS and the change of the wind into account.
