Experience the remarkable capabilities of the Bionic Bird, an advanced ornithopter drone that redefines flight simulation. Watch as this lightweight, flapping wing drone demonstrates exceptional ...

“As the crow flies” is a common idiom referring to the shortest distance between two points, but the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS), led by Dario Floreano, in EPFL’s School of Engineering has ...

I’m not saying you should go crowdfund a Bionic Bird X-Fly, as you’ll hear in my hands-on video below. I’m just saying that biomimetic ornithopters are surprisingly fun — and way less disruptive than ...

Artificial Flight: Modern drones have become pretty advanced, but they are very energy-inefficient. European researchers decided to take inspiration from birds to develop a new type of drone that ...

Drone aircraft are no longer curiosities—they're widely used in recreation, transportation, and even warfare. Most of these flying machines use rotary-wing quadcopter designs, which allow them to take ...
