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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Like snowflakes, no two branches are alike. They can differ in size, shape and texture; some might be wet or moss-covered or bursting with offshoots. And yet birds can land on just ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s one thing to get a robot to fly like a bird, but it’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

In the early 1990s, a researcher at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology began work on what would become Paro. More than 30 years after its development, the ...
