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) ...

A pigeon-inspired robot has solved the mystery of how birds fly without the vertical tail fins that human-designed aircraft rely on. Its makers say the prototype could eventually lead to passenger ...

LEONARDO walks and flies to get around. Video shows the 2.5-foot prototype approach and fly over a set of steps, walk a slackline and even ride a skateboard. LEO’s ability to toggle between walking ...

Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

A new drone is taking inspiration from nature’s best flyers: birds. The bio-inspired aerial bot, which was developed by Stanford engineers, combines four sets of propellers on top with a set of ...

A flying robot that resembles a peregrine falcon can be used to scare away flocks of birds in fields, performing better at this task than a standard drone. RobotFalcon resembles a peregrine falcon in ...

Nature is an endless source of inspiration for robot design, so of course flying robots will borrow heavily from birds. Engineers at Stanford have now developed robotic claws inspired by the talons of ...

A team at UC Berkeley has developed the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, inspired by bumblebees. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring under a centimeter in diameter, the miniature drone ...

If you’ve been looking up into the South Jersey skies over the past week, you may have seen them. Little robots, attached to flying drones, that have been busy hovering around power lines. It turns ...

Engineers built a dronelike robot that morphs midair to drive on rough terrain, boosting agility for delivery systems and robotic exploration. (Nanowerk News) Specialized robots that can both fly and ...
