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.

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.

Many organisms can transition smoothly from one mode of locomotion to another, often by using the same body parts. For example, flying fish use their fins to steer underwater, and these same ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

Unlike birds, which navigate unknown environments with remarkable speed and agility, drones typically rely on external guidance or pre-mapped routes. However, a groundbreaking development by Professor ...
