A bee-like robot currently under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is part of a new generation ...

Building a “bird robot” that flies with fixed wings is easy enough, but creating something that bends and flaps its wings like a real animal is surprisingly difficult.

These robot wings use artificial muscle to flap like an insect A prototype bot from engineers at the University of Bristol flies like an insect and looks like the golden snitch.

The scientists built a robot with real pigeon feathers, whose faux wrists and fingers can morph its wing shape -- as they had observed in the pigeon cadavers.

Discover how a new wing assisted hopping robot from MIT navigates obstacles and diverse terrains with energy efficiency. Learn about its potential uses.

Robotic versions of flying insects hold a lot of promise for numerous applications, but controlling their yaw axis while in flight has proven challenging. A new bee robot, however, addresses that ...

A new robotic bird made with real pigeon feathers is the first robot that can change the shape of its wings like a bird, by fanning its feathers out or folding them closer together. Lentink Lab ...

When engineers outfitted a six-legged robotic bug with wings in an effort to improve its mobility, they unexpectedly shed some light on the evolution of flight. The wings nearly doubled the ...
