The robot’s developers believe a scaled-up version of the machine could be used in rescue missions and parcel deliveries in remote locations. Researchers have developed a bird-like robot that can walk ...

Researchers have developed a bird-like robot that can walk, jump, and hop to fly. The robot or fixed-wing drone can move quickly from the ground into the air with its “avian-inspired” legs, according ...

With feet and legs like a peregrine falcon, engineers have created a robot that can perch and carry objects like a bird. Like snowflakes, no two branches are alike. They can differ in size, shape, and ...

Stanford University engineers have created a robot bird that can use its feet to perch and carry things. “It’s not easy to mimic how birds fly and perch,” said Stanford engineer William Roderick.

A perching bird-like robot is seen to resemble how a real bird behaves, like carrying an object and flying around. While it's surprising to see a rare sighting of an unmanned aerial vehicle that ...

Stanford University engineers have created a robot bird that can use its feet to perch and carry things. “It’s not easy to mimic how birds fly and perch,” said Stanford engineer William Roderick.

Engineers at Stanford University have built a robotic bird to understand how birds are able to fly and perch on branches. The robot has a pair of snatching talons that attach to a circular flat base; ...

This bird-like robot has a claw that it could use to perch on branches it has flown to. It could potentially be useful for collecting samples in hard-to-reach places or silently observing animals in ...

COLLEGE PARK, MD--(Marketwired - April 30, 2013) - In this age of advanced technology, how hard could it be to develop a robotic bird that flies by flapping its wings? Despite the apparent simplicity ...

Taking design inspiration from an ostrich, the BirdBot needs fewer motors than comparable legged robots. A few facts about ostriches: It took just a few million years for terrestrial birds to refine ...
