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 ...

In an innovative project funded by a $700,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense’s DARPA, researchers are developing ...

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.

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 ...

According to the analysis, a 490-gram bird needs to move at 1.85 meters per second to take off, and a 780-gram bird needs to reach 3.21 meters per second. Based on this, they expected RAVEN to ...

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 ...

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 ...

FireFly FF Bird Diverters Power lines and birds have long faced a challenging coexistence—but innovative technology is changing that. The FireFly FF Bird Diverter, with its unique combination of ...
