A lightweight robot modeled on diving birds can swim underwater, break through the surface, and continue flying without using ...

Now two universities have gotten together to make an interesting robot duplicate. MIT and EPFL in Switzerland have now built ...

Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and ...

Scientists built a flapping wing robot that can swim underwater, fly through the air and launch itself out of water to study ...

A drone prototype that mimics the aerobatic manoeuvres of one of the world's fastest birds, the swift, is being developed by an international team of engineers in the latest example of biologically ...

A robotic bird with flapping wings covered in real feathers has flown for the first time. It could be used to provide insights into how real birds fly or to create stealthy drones that look like ...

Flapping-wing robo-bird uses two tails to fly fast or slow Many readers will remember the MetaFly, a remote-control robotic insect that flies by actually flapping its wings. Well, its inventor is back ...
