While “zombie duck drones” might sound like a weird plot twist in some dystopian horror movie, these robotic critters were engineered to further wildlife research. They also look like a mashup of ...

A flying robot can float on gusts of wind like a bird, using 150 times less power than it does during propelled flight. It can also adjust its position automatically when the wind changes to catch the ...

Birds are magnificent creatures that can teach us a lot about the art of flying, so it is only logical for humans to study them to come up with smarter, more efficient, and useful types of aircraft.

For decades, scientists have been trying to create machines that mimic the way birds fly. A team from Stanford University has gotten one big step closer. The team created the PigeonBot — a winged ...
