Abstract :	[en] Increase of quest for development of efficient and high quality Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) has encouraged engineers to seek new ideas and applications using smart materials. Biomimetic mechanisms have been proposed as solutions for increasing the efficiency of MAVs. In this paper an experimental study is performed on a bio-inspired tail, developed at the Advanced Dynamic & Control Systems Laboratory (ADCSL), University of Tehran and a PID controller is implemented on this tail. Results show that the implemented controller has successfully rejected disturbances in reference tracking using an acceptable level of energy for the control system.
