For building a MAV, this paper commences with the bat wrist and elbow anatomy so that the motion, limitation and principles at the region of both can be better understood. The bone structure, the tendon distribution their individual and cooperative functions are discussed. At last, a derivative CAD engineering model with 6 DOFs is presented according to the discoveries.
