A robot with bird-like legs that can walk, hop, leap and jump for take-off into flight has been designed in Switzerland in an ...

In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight.

In October of this year, we reported on a raven that had some serious issues with a coffee drone entering its airspace. It brought up an important question: Who will own the future (low altitude) ...

With feet and legs like a peregrine falcon, engineers have created a robot that can perch and carry objects like a bird. Like snowflakes, no two branches are alike. They can differ in size, shape, and ...

Birds are magnificent creatures that can teach us a lot about the art of flying, so it is only logical for humans to study them to come up with smarter, more efficient, and useful types of aircraft.

A Chinese team of scientists has redesigned the Robo Falcon robot falcon, which was developed in 2021, so that it can now take off like a real bird and also fly more slowly. To achieve this, the ...

Researchers have developed a method that allows a flapping-wing robot to land autonomously on a horizontal perch using a claw-like mechanism. The innovation could significantly expand the scope of ...

Taking design inspiration from an ostrich, the BirdBot needs fewer motors than comparable legged robots. A few facts about ostriches: It took just a few million years for terrestrial birds to refine ...
