Inspired by diving birds, roboticists built the lightweight machines to move from water to air. The design may one day lead ...

The bird-fish hybrid could one day be used to study aquatic animals underwater and then fly back to the base with data.

You might assume that pigeons keep their eyes still as they fly. New research, however, shows that pigeons engage in slow, ...

Loons, gulls, puffins and petrels are some of the 100 species of birds that can both fly and swim. These diving birds can ...

Robotics and AI are reaching heights that we had probably only seen in sci-fi movies earlier. Scientists at the Ecole ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, its a robo-grouse — and it could help save a fragile ecosystem in national parks across America. Scientists and park managers are increasingly turning to robotic ...

A robotic bird inspired by one of nature’s most skilled fliers is helping scientists understand how birds stay stable in ...

A robotic bird that mimics kestrel movements has helped researchers uncover how birds maintain stability in turbulent air ...

Embodied intelligence makes robot energy-efficient and easy to steer Scientists built a flying robot that is both easy to control and energy-efficient, especially in changing wind conditions. The ...
