Abstract
Recent technology advancement drives the miniaturization of autonomous aerial vehicles to the microscale. In this chapter, we present the progress our research team has made on building an insect-scale aerial vehicle and zoom into the critical reliability issues associated with this system. We give a brief background on micro aerial vehicles (MAV) and an introductory overview on the insect-scale MAV prototype called RobeBee. Detailed implementation of RoboBee's electronic control system is presented and the reliability concerns and considerations associated ...
