CLEVELAND, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PLP and FulcrumAir have partnered to launch the world's most advanced automated robotic system for installing helically-shaped bird diverters on overhead power ...

Robotic birds are notoriously difficult to make, because the complex motion required brings mechanical weight penalties that are difficult to balance with the modest thrust of the flapping wings. But ...

Since 2007, researchers at the Maryland Robotics Center have been steadily upgrading Robo Raven, a super-realistic robotic bird that’s so lifelike it even fools the ...

A robotic bird that is so lifelike it fools other birds into flying with it may be the first step in humanity’s ability to truly mimic the natural world, and thus learn how to better use our planet.

When you gaze into the sky, what do you see? If you happen to live in China, the answer might be surveillance drones disguised as birds, according to a new report from the South China Morning Post.
