Combing pigeon feathers with a robot allowed researchers to learn more about how birds fly, and hints at possible aircraft designs of the future.

Try as they might, even the most advanced roboticists on Earth struggle to recreate the effortless elegance and efficiency with which birds fly through the air. The "PigeonBot" from Stanford ...

‘PigeonBot’ Uses Real Feathers to Fly Like a Bird The flying robot is better at following directions than its namesake Theresa Machemer - Correspondent January 17, 2020 ...

Engineers have designed a robot with flapping wings, which can perform nimble movements in the air, hovering, darting, diving and recovering like a bird or an insect.

The robot is being used to test out new control principles. One of the most interesting aspects of the PigeonBot is that the scientists fitted the flying robot with real bird feathers.

The future of flying robots is in the claws of a goggle-wearing parrot Stanford mechanical engineers prove well-established bird flight theories predicting vortices are flawed ...

Researchers are building a robot bird. That's great news until a robot cat comes along.

A mechanical engineer from Stanford created a "bird-like" robot that uses legs inspired by those of a peregrine falcon to perfectly land on stuff.

Engineers have designed a robot with flapping wings, which can perform nimble movements in the air, hovering, darting, diving and recovering like a bird or an insect.

Researchers are using ultra high-speed cameras to study hummingbird flight, so they can build better flying robots.
