You could be excused for thinking that German robotics company Festo does nothing but put together fabulous prototype robots built to resemble kangaroos, jellyfish, and other living things. They do in ...
A flying robot can float on gusts of wind like a bird, using 150 times less power than it does during propelled flight. It can also adjust its position automatically when the wind changes to catch the ...
Ever watched a bird swoop through the air, effortlessly twisting and turning, and wondered: why can’t planes do that? For ...
Engineers have designed a robot with flapping wings, which can perform nimble movements in the air, hovering, darting, diving and recovering like a bird or an insect. Humans have been trying to ...

Cornell’s insect-inspired 3D model could allow flapping-wing robots to fly stably
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a 3D computational model that decodes the complex ...
The ATMO (aerially transforming morphobot) robot transforms from its flying, quadrotor configuration midair as it approaches the ground. It is then able to roll away in its driving configuration.
