An MIT laboratory has engineered a $300 flapping robot that can fly and swim underwater. Its creator believes it could be ...
Tiny flying robots that flap their wings like birds and insects could one day inspect damaged buildings, explore tight spaces ...
MIT and EPFL researchers built an 8.8-ounce robotic bird that flies, dives underwater and launches back into the air using ...
The bioinspired device, which weighs roughly half a pound and measures around three feet wide, was also modeled after aquatic ...

Puffin bird-inspired robot flaps its wings to travel through both air and water
Experts spend years trying to build robotic systems that can both fly and dive.
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 ...
Researchers have developed a new kind of robot. It can't write our theme music. Only BJ Leiderman does that. But it can swim, run and even, one day, it might clean our coastlines. NPR's Ari Daniel met ...
FAAV is the first bird-inspired aerial-aquatic robot. It flies, dives, swims and takes off using flapping wings. Developed by MIT and EPFL for environmental study. Imagine a robot that flies like a ...
To understand the significance of this achievement, we need to look at the science first. Water is about 1,000 times denser than air. Usually, a wing designed to lift the robot in the air would be too ...
Researchers say the $300 robot marks the first bird-scale machine to complete an air-to-water-to-air cycle using flapping wings alone. Watching a diving bird vanish beneath the water can feel almost ...
