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.

Some birds migrate thousands of miles every autumn. How exactly do they manage it? Scientists built a flight chamber to find out. Some birds migrate thousands of miles every autumn. How exactly do ...

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.

“How do you make a hinge? Look at a fruit fly.” Princeton’s Bio-Inspired Adaptive Morphology (BAM) Laboratory, headed by Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Science and Engineering Department Aimy ...
