AB We investigate the kinematics and stability of hovering flight making use of a robotic experimental device thatsimulate the movement of insects or birds. We carried out this analysis based on the characterization of thismovement with flow visualizations and particle image velocimetry -PIV-. First, we characterized the kinematics ofthe robotic device inside water. Therefore, it has been verified that the robotic experiments follow the desired inputsignal precisely. Second, we give qualitative and quantitative information from the experimental tests as a functionof frequency and angular amplitude. The kinematics of the hovering flight produces vortices that are stable orunstable around the rigid flat plate, as well as one transient regime that has been also found between these twolatter states. Finally, dimensional velocity field plus associated vorticity have been characterized in these flowregimes through PIV measurements, and we also validated the reproducibility of experiment finding excellentagreement between different set of experiments.
