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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
Researchers have developed a bird-like robot that can walk, jump, and hop to fly. The robot or fixed-wing drone can move ...
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 ...
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 bird-like robot capable of walking, hopping, and leaping into flight. Named RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple Environments), the design features ...
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 ...
Researchers have built a robot that uses a single camera and an algorithm to gain bird-like obstacle-avoidance smarts as it flies around the great outdoors. That is, the robot is smart enough to avoid ...
When it comes to copying R2-D2, the best bet seems to be small birds with small brains .
A perching bird-like robot is seen to resemble how a real bird behaves, like carrying an object and flying around. While it's surprising to see a rare sighting of an unmanned aerial vehicle that ...
Engineers have designed a robot with flapping wings, which can perform nimble movements in the air, hovering, darting, diving and recovering like a bird or an insect. Humans have been trying to ...
