Their “Robo Raven” is the result of a decade of prototypes, and it can soar in all types of weather conditions. Before the Robo Raven, most flying machines could only stay in the air below ...

Scientists in Switzerland have built a revolutionary robot raven that leaps into flight like a bird. They hope that one day the design could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-wing ...

Most robotic birds flap their wings in sync. But this raven-like flier can move each of its flexible wings independently, allowing it to perform acrobatic manoeuvres during flight.

Studying the flapping flight of birds is another area I'd like to explore. Adding flapping wings to a robot like RAVEN would enhance flight agility and provide more opportunities to study bird ...

Another modification that’s on the way for RAVEN is foldable wings that the robot will use to squeeze through tight spaces. “Flapping wings would also be a very interesting topic.

Researchers put bird legs on a drone so it can take off by jumping. EPFL’s RAVEN is a fixed-wing drone that can take off without a runway using bird-inspired legs.
