Abstract: 

Operation of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) in cluttered environments at low speed presents significant challenges for design of the control system. In this talk, we will present work done regarding mathematical modeling of bioinspired hair-cell sensors for detection of flow separation over MAV wings. In addition, we will present an approach to sensor and actuator placement and design that utilizes sensitivity analysis applied to distributed parameter systems.
