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 ...

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 ...

This tiny, flying robot flaps its wings 30 times per second—just like a real hummingbird—and will one day save lives by searching for survivors in wreckage and spots not easily accessible by humans.

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 ...

Using robotic fins, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have learned how stingrays ...

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 ...

In the early 1990s, a researcher at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology began work on what would become Paro. More than 30 years after its development, the ...

Hong Kong is increasingly turning to artificial intelligence and robotics to strengthen how it ...
