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 bird with an inbuilt drone mimics the movement of real creatures and could transform surveillance, according to the developers. Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, a ...

The scientists explain: “RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments), which uses its bird-inspired multifunctional legs to jump rapidly into flight, walk on the ground, and hop ...

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 ...

Artificial Flight: Modern drones have become pretty advanced, but they are very energy-inefficient. European researchers decided to take inspiration from birds to develop a new type of drone that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quectel Wireless Solutions, an end-to-end global IoT solutions provider, today announces the launch of a new-generation smart robotic computing module, the SH602HA-AP. Based on the D-Robotics Sunrise ...

Researchers have enabled drones and micro air vehicles (MAVs) to emulate the flight capabilities of birds more closely than ever before. The team has developed the Safety-Assured High-Speed Aerial ...
