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 ...
European scientists have built the first bird-like robot that can land like a true avian. A real bird landing on a branch makes the manoeuvre look simple, but in fact, it involves an extremely ...
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 ...
Flapping-wing ornithopter drones may potentially be more agile and energy-efficient than their fixed-wing counterparts, but most of them still can't loiter in one spot. A new model addresses that ...

A British team has developed a new miniature flying robot that flaps its wings like an insect, with no conventional motors and gears. It's a step toward flapping flight that's more like the way ...
