Discover the fascinating world of robotics with our latest creation: the Robot Wire Walker with Wings! In this video, we ...
Flying robots have some big advantages over their ground-going counterparts, but they're definitely not very energy-efficient. An experimental new bot addresses that tradeoff by using a wing-assisted ...
Feathers may have evolved on dinosaurs to frighten and flush out prey before they were used for flight, say researchers who built a winged robot and used it to scare grasshoppers. Pennaceous feathers, ...
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 ...
The sight of birds soaring through the sky has inspired humans for generations before the invention of powered flight in the early 20th century. Still looking to learn from winged animals, a team of ...
A teeny robot designed to replicate the wing dynamics of rhinoceros beetles could be well-suited for search-and-rescue missions, as well as spying on real insects, according to researchers at ...
Scientists examined hundreds of birds in museum collections and discovered a suite of feather characteristics that all flying birds have in common. These 'rules' provide clues as to how the dinosaur ...
