Abstract :
Miniature robots especially miniature flying robots or vehicles are very fast gaining popularity among researchers. They are versatile in design, very compact and lightweight to carry a few grams of camera or any other payload to do the assigned task or inspection routine in given time frame and can come back to the base station. Miniature robots can be of help in many disaster mitigation, search and rescue operations because of their ability to fly in bad weather conditions as well as difficult to access passages without risking human lives. When flying in such conditions, it is essential to have a air vehicle that can easily fit through small openings and maneuver around pillars and destructed wall structure. To complete the given tasks effectively and in given time is the biggest challenge in designing any such vehicles. In this paper our approach is mainly to design the MAV which will maneuver without any disturbance created by the atmosphere. In brief, a kinematic model of the arrangement of MAV is studied keeping in view different aspects like thrust forces, lift co-efficient, basic maneuvering operations, etc. Another aim is to analyze the deflection in structure of MAV in certain loading conditions.
