Their Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments (RAVEN) trades traditional landing gear for a pair of bird-inspired articulated legs that allow the drone to walk around, hop over ...

RAVEN seeks to fix that problem. This bird-shaped drone can launch from a raised surface, just as birds do to leap into flight. When in flight, RAVEN is powered by a single propeller on its front ...

Birds achieve flight control through complex ... have brought this biological approach to robotics with the LisEagle, a drone featuring morphing wings and tail that demonstrate remarkable stability.

An curved arrow pointing right. The Bionic Bird is a drone designed to look and fly just like a real bird. The drone can fly up to 12 miles per hour for 10 minutes at a time. Video courtesy of ...

This new drone takes its inspiration from birds, which, as you may have noticed, have both legs and wings. Engineers have considered adding legs to help fixed-wing drones get airborne, but such ...

Remote-controlled drones have become an invaluable tool ... The next advance, dronebuilders say, will be to emulate the way birds change the shape of their wings by overlapping their feathers ...

Palisades Tahoe ski resort flew a drone into the blue skies over its mountains Tuesday morning as skiers look forward to the ...

Scientists have built a bird-inspired robot with legs that can walk on the ground, hop over obstacles and jump into flight, an advance that may lead to the development of drones for complex terrains.

that resemble small birds. In an animated video, the Air Force showed an autonomous pigeon-shaped drone that perches on a wire as it surveys a target while simultaneously gathering energy from the ...

The bird spots and intercepts the drone before taking it to a safe landing spot. Netherlands national police have been conducting research into using birds of prey to take out unwanted drones.

While his taxidermied bird drones may have gone global, it's the prospects of going interplanetary that drive Dr. Mostafa Hassanalian’s research. The New Mexico Tech Associate professor has been ...
