Researchers have developed a bird-like robot capable of walking, hopping, and leaping into flight. Named RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple Environments), the design features ...

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 ...

Engineers believe a robot bird flying without a tailfin could revolutionise aviation. University of Groningen professor of Biomimetics David Lentink developed the robotic pigeon named PigeonBot II ...

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 ...

Here’s yet another example of robots stealing our jobs. Over in Arkansas, officials have deployed a robotic bird watcher in order to help locate a bird that may or may not exist. (So that’s where my ...

Unlike birds, which navigate unknown environments with remarkable speed and agility, drones typically rely on external guidance or pre-mapped routes. However, a groundbreaking development by Professor ...

Have you ever wondered why an airplane has a vertical tailfin? The plane needs it to stabilize its flight. Since flying without a vertical tail is much more energy-efficient, the aviation industry has ...
