Researchers have developed a robotic bat that flies just like the real mammal and features many of its musculoskeletal structures. While bats have inspired flying-machine designs as far back as ...

Robotic bat wings could aid in the design of novel flapping aircraft, researchers say. Scientists built a robot that mimics the wing shape and motions of the lesser dog-faced fruit bat (Cynopterus ...

Fancy flight tricks are a breeze for a new flying robot. Call it an acrobat. Bat Bot, a lightweight flier with thin silicone wings stretched over a carbon fiber skeleton, can cruise, dive and bank ...

In what would make an excellent sidekick for Batman, scientists have built a fascinating, unconventional flying robot that moves its wings and flies just like a bat. Covered with a thin, silicon skin, ...

Drones have come a long way in a short amount of time. They now can deliver packages, help in search and rescue missions and will even slice off your finger if your happen to touch one of their ...

Robots may get their wings with a little help from bats. According to a new study published in the journal Physics of Fluids, researchers observed how bats flap their wings to gain inspiration for ...

A bat-like robot may soon be the superhero we’ve been waiting for. Inspired, a team of engineers from the California Institute of Technology and the University of Illinois developed technology that ...

A fully autonomous bat-like terrestrial robot, named Robat, can use echolocation to move through a novel environment while mapping it solely based on sound. A fully autonomous bat-like terrestrial ...
