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

Inspired by the physical feats of diving birds, researchers have created a robot that can plunge into the water and flap back ...

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

Researchers have developed a new kind of robot that flies through the air, swims through the water, and transitions between the two realms.

FAAV is the world's first 300-gram bird-inspired robot that can fly, swim and leap out of water using only flapping wings. Here's how this science breakthrough could transform research on wildlife.

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

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

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

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

Experts spend years trying to build robotic systems that can both fly and dive.

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