Flapping wing micro aerial vehicles face challenges in sensing and reacting to disturbances like wind gusts. This work introduces a new microscale bio-inspired digital strain sensor to detect these perturbations. The sensor is designed to change logic states when a specified strain threshold has been reached. The sensors are 3D printed on a flexible Mylar wing using two-photon polymerization. Thre...
