In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly ...

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 engineering breakthrough that could enable aircraft to operate in ...

Chinese scientists unveil RoboFalcon2.0, a bird-inspired flapping robot that takes off like a falcon using new wing mechanics ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

Inspired by nature, researchers have developed a new framework using a geometric property called "curvity" to improve robot swarm coordination. This parameter, indicating how a robot curves under ...

While “zombie duck drones” might sound like a weird plot twist in some dystopian horror movie, these robotic critters were engineered to further wildlife research. They also look like a mashup of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Why spend all that time building and fine tuning robots that mimic ...

For decades, scientists have been trying to create machines that mimic the way birds fly. A team from Stanford University has gotten one big step closer. The team created the PigeonBot — a winged ...

This bird-like robot has a claw that it could use to perch on branches it has flown to. It could potentially be useful for collecting samples in hard-to-reach places or silently observing animals in ...
