MIT and EPFL researchers built an 8.8-ounce robotic bird that flies, dives underwater and launches back into the air using ...

The bioinspired device, which weighs roughly half a pound and measures around three feet wide, was also modeled after aquatic ...

A robot that swims like a diving bird and then flies like, well, a bird, sounds like the setup for two different machines ...

Flapping-wing robots that mimic the flight mechanics of birds and insects are closing the control gap with conventional quadrotor drones, according to a cluster of recent peer-reviewed studies.

Inspired by the physical feats of diving birds, researchers have created a robot that can plunge into the water and flap back ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new kind of robot that flies through the air, swims through the water, and transitions between the two realms.

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 ...

An unusual conservation effort is taking flight once again in Wyoming with handcrafted robo-birds. According to Popular Science, Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park recently deployed robotic ...
