Isn't it wonderful that there are researchers out there whose job is quite simply to make a robotic bird? That's certainly the goal of this lab, whose flapping-wing drone, or ornithopter, has now been ...

This bird-like robot has a claw that it could use to perch on branches it has flown to. It could potentially be useful for collecting samples in hard-to-reach places or silently observing animals in ...

Here’s yet another example of robots stealing our jobs. Over in Arkansas, officials have deployed a robotic bird watcher in order to help locate a bird that may or may not exist. (So that’s where my ...

(TNS) — If you’ve been looking up into the South Jersey skies over the past week, you may have seen them. Little robots, attached to flying drones, that have been busy hovering around power lines. It ...

Yes, it’s true — birds can be great creatures to look at, but for those who work in aviation, waste management, or agriculture birds can be a very tough problem to deal with. Birds are not only a ...

A robot bird with an inbuilt drone mimics the movement of real creatures and could transform surveillance, according to the developers. Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, a ...

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 ...

Robotics and AI are reaching heights that we had probably only seen in sci-fi movies earlier. Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled Raven (Robotic ...

Have you ever wondered why an airplane has a vertical tailfin? The plane needs it to stabilize its flight. Since flying without a vertical tail is much more energy-efficient, the aviation industry has ...

A little Disney magic came to life in the library at William Floyd High School recently as students there showed off singing animatronic birds they built with assistance from a California-based design ...
