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

A new ultra-lightweight robot can swim underwater – before emerging to fly through the air like a bird. The flapping-wing ...

A robot that swims like a diving bird and then flies like, well, a bird, sounds like the setup for two different machines ...

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

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

A lightweight robot modeled on diving birds can swim underwater, break through the surface, and continue flying without using ...

Researchers at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering have now developed a bio-inspired robotic bird capable of flying ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

MIT and EPFL have jointly developed the first flapping-wing robot that can fly and dive. Scientists at the Massachusetts ...

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

A new type of aerial-aquatic robot, inspired by diving birds, is opening up new frontiers for ocean exploration.
