Every once in a while a book comes along that feels less like reading and more like having your creative brain blown wide ...

With feet and legs like a peregrine falcon, engineers have created a robot that can perch and carry objects like a bird.

As for the applications of the bird-like robot, the SNAG can get attached to drones and be used for search and rescue missions, wildfire monitoring, to offer just a few examples.

A new robot from Stanford can land smoothly anywhere thanks to bird-like features such as claws, toe pads, curving feet, and bending legs.

Researchers have built a robot that uses a single camera and an algorithm to gain bird-like obstacle-avoidance smarts as it flies around the great outdoors. That is, the robot is smart enough to ...

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 ...

A robot bird with an inbuilt drone mimics the movement of real creatures and could transform surveillance, according to the developers. Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, a ...

The researchers have designed robot legs that run on fewer motors than comparable machines and could, theoretically, scale to large size. Their energy-efficient robotic model, called BirdBot ...
