In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight.

Scientists in China have built a falcon-inspired flying robot that can take off like a bird, offering new insights into the mechanics of avian flight and promising advances in bio-inspired aviation.

In-air measurements of northern bald ibises flying in a V formation show that the birds conform to predictions for saving energy by regulating their relative body position and synchronizing their ...
