The bird-inspired multifunctional legs allow the drone to rapidly take off and fly, walk on the ground, and hop over small obstacles. The researchers compared RAVEN to a real raven to display 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.

RAVEN, a bird-inspired drone, demonstrates significant progress toward mimicking avian movement. While its mechanical legs lack the complexity of real bird legs, ...

Drone aircraft are no longer curiosities—they're widely used in recreation, transportation, and even warfare. Most of these flying machines use rotary-wing quadcopter designs, which allow them ...

The Swiss research team at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne found that by adding bird-like legs to a fixed-wing puller-propeller drone, their machine, aptly deemed Raven (Robotic ...

A pair of engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has designed, built and tested a feathered, hawk-inspired drone capable of carrying out banking maneuvers without using ...

SOCORRO, N.M. (KRQE) – 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 As… ...

A bird’s nest incorporating fiber optic cable is a striking sign of how much debris from fiber-guided FPVs now litters the landscape of Ukraine. Other images show fields glittering with fibers ...

A quadcopter drone operated by a photojournalist with an FAA remote pilot certificate for commercial use demonstrates the Southeast Missourian's commitment to serve its readers with new technology.
