No matter how good our human designs may be, evolution has had a 4-billion-year head start, so there’s no shame in copying off Mother Nature’s homework. Engineers at the University of Bristol have ...

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 ...

Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...

Northwestern Polytechnical University researchers created a unique drone that looks and flies like a bird. It is significantly smaller than most unmanned autonomous vehicles and has flapping wings ...
