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 ...

In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight.

For decades, scientists have been trying to create machines that mimic the way birds fly. A team from Stanford University has gotten one big step closer. The team created the PigeonBot — a winged ...

Birds are magnificent creatures that can teach us a lot about the art of flying, so it is only logical for humans to study them to come up with smarter, more efficient, and useful types of aircraft.
