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.

The breakthrough lies in RoboFalcon2.0’s reconfigurable wing system. By combining mechanical decouplers with a lightweight frame, the robot can flap, sweep, and fold its wings in a coordinated rhythm ...

Flying robots have some big advantages over their ground-going counterparts, but they're definitely not very energy-efficient. An experimental new bot addresses that tradeoff by using a wing-assisted ...

Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

XI'AN -- In a breakthrough for bio-inspired robotics, a team of Chinese engineers has designed a robot that flaps its wings ...

A teeny robot designed to replicate the wing dynamics of rhinoceros beetles could be well-suited for search-and-rescue missions, as well as spying on real insects, according to researchers at ...

A small robot with wings like an insect can fly and generate more power than a similarly sized animal in nature. Most flying robots, whether they use wings or propellers, have motors and gears and ...

A prototype bot from engineers at the University of Bristol flies like an insect and looks like the golden snitch. By Charlotte Hu Published Feb 2, 2022 3:00 PM EST Get the Popular Science daily ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Centre Dresden-Rossendorf have developed a revolutionary technology: flexible robot wings that are moved by ...

Robots cooking chicken wings might sound like a storyline from a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually the latest concept from Wavemaker Labs, the corporate innovation and product development incubator ...
