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

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

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

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

Scientists in China have built a falcon-inspired flying robot that can take off like a bird, offering new insights into the mechanics of avian flight and promising advances in bio-inspired aviation.

As we’re starting to get used to the idea of unmanned drones dropping deliveries on a regular basis, scientists are already working on changing them. How about watching a drone flap its wings on its ...

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 ...

France's military is developing "BIOFLY" drones that mimic bird flight and appearance for stealth and camouflage in military operations. The BIOFLY project focuses on lightweight, flapping-wing drones ...

MIT and EPFL have jointly developed the first flapping-wing robot that can fly and dive. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have, together with researchers from the École ...
