Patent ID: 8210470

Claim:
A moving apparatus, comprising: a wing portion making a flapping operation in a space where a fluid exists; a driving portion causing the flapping operation of said wing portion; a control portion controlling said driving portion; and a main body portion to which said driving portion and said control portion are mounted; wherein: said wing portion includes: one wing shaft portion and another wing shaft portion connected to said driving portion, and a wing body portion formed at least across said one wing shaft portion and said another wing shaft portion; said driving portion includes: one driving portion causing said one wing shaft portion to make a first periodic motion, and another driving portion for separately and independently from said one driving portion causing said another wing shaft portion to make a second periodic motion; and said control portion controls said one driving portion and said another driving portion such that an amplitude difference between said first periodic motion and said second periodic motion is changed, thereby changing a torsion angle formed by a tip end of said wing body portion and a prescribed phantom plane.
