A flying robot can float on gusts of wind like a bird, using 150 times less power than it does during propelled flight. It can also adjust its position automatically when the wind changes to catch the ...

You could be excused for thinking that German robotics company Festo does nothing but put together fabulous prototype robots built to resemble kangaroos, jellyfish, and other living things. They do in ...

If you’ve been looking up into the South Jersey skies over the past week, you may have seen them. Little robots, attached to flying drones, that have been busy hovering around power lines. It turns ...

Engineers have designed a robot with flapping wings, which can perform nimble movements in the air, hovering, darting, diving and recovering like a bird or an insect. Humans have been trying to ...

A remarkable group of drone prototypes from a team at the University of Tokyo takes multirotor complexity to the next level. These hypnotic flying robots are able to change their structural shape ...

Listen, we’re all big fans of science here—but sometimes, science gets it wrong. Case in point: Japanese engineers have created an utterly creepy robot spider that’s also capable of flying around like ...

The ATMO (aerially transforming morphobot) robot transforms from its flying, quadrotor configuration midair as it approaches the ground. It is then able to roll away in its driving configuration.

Engineers built a dronelike robot that morphs midair to drive on rough terrain, boosting agility for delivery systems and robotic exploration. (Nanowerk News) Specialized robots that can both fly and ...

Engineers have developed a real-life Transformer that has the 'brains' to morph in midair, allowing the drone-like robot to smoothly roll away and begin its ground operations without pause. The ...

While “zombie duck drones” might sound like a weird plot twist in some dystopian horror movie, these robotic critters were engineered to further wildlife research. They also look like a mashup of ...
