The bird-fish hybrid could one day be used to study aquatic animals underwater and then fly back to the base with data.

Inspired by diving birds, roboticists built the lightweight machines to move from water to air. The design may one day lead ...

Loons, gulls, puffins and petrels are some of the 100 species of birds that can both fly and swim. These diving birds can ...

Loons, gulls, puffins, and petrels are some of the 100 species of birds that can both fly and swim. These diving birds can plunge in water to swim ...

The insect-inspired CLARI robot could be particularly good at doing so, as it can make itself skinnier to squeeze through tight horizontal gaps. Its name an acronym for "Compliant Legged Articulated ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...

Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...
