Connecting point of the longitudinal veins and cross-veins in wing is called Joint. In some insect wing joints, there is a type of rubber-like protein called Resilin. Due to the low Young's modulus of this protein, its presence in the wing can help to change the shape of the wing during flight. Today, using composite structures in flying vehicles in order to achieve the desired shape of wing is considered. The purpose of this study is the multi-objective optimization of artificial wing by arranging Resilin joints in the artificial wing of Micro air vehicles (MAVs). The amount of torsion and bending of the flapping robot wings is considered as the objective function to improve the flight performance of robots. Two types of artificial wings have been investigated, and considering pareto points, the optimal arrangement of Resilin joints has been achieved. The result of this study shows that in both wings, with the presence of Resilin in the joints, the amount of torsion has increased to 38.65 degrees.
