MIT and EPFL researchers built an 8.8-ounce robotic bird that flies, dives underwater and launches back into the air using ...

A robot that swims like a diving bird and then flies like, well, a bird, sounds like the setup for two different machines ...

A lightweight robot modeled on diving birds can swim underwater, break through the surface, and continue flying without using ...

FAAV is the world's first 300-gram bird-inspired robot that can fly, swim and leap out of water using only flapping wings. Here's how this science breakthrough could transform research on wildlife.

Researchers have created a pigeon-inspired robot with bird-like reflexes, enabling it to stay stable in turbulent conditions. To regulate its movements, researchers developed PigeonBot II, a ...

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 ...

Flapping-wing robots that mimic the flight mechanics of birds and insects are closing the control gap with conventional quadrotor drones, according to a cluster of recent peer-reviewed studies.

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 ...

A bio-inspired robotic bird capable of mimicking the key movements of kestrels is helping researchers unravel the mysteries behind the species' exceptional hovering capabilities.

A flapping-wing robot that can both swim underwater and fly through the air is helping scientists rethink how diving birds manage life in two ...

Inspired by diving birds, roboticists built the lightweight machines to move from water to air. The design may one day lead ...
