Engineers believe a robot bird flying without a tailfin could revolutionise aviation. University of Groningen professor of Biomimetics David Lentink developed the robotic pigeon named PigeonBot II ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a flying robot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee and could, someday, help with search-and-rescue missions. The tiny robot, which measures four centimetres and ...

Most airplanes in the world have vertical tails or rudders to prevent Dutch roll instabilities, a combination of yawing and sideways motions with rolling that looks a bit like the movements of a ...

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.
