In indoor tests, RAVEN could jump almost half a metre into the air and at 2.4 metres per second – which is a similar speed to birds of the same size – at which point a propeller takes over.

Raven weighs just 0.62kg and has avian-inspired legs that replicate bird-like limb dynamics. The design, led by PhD student Won Dong Shin, combines mathematical modeling, computer simulations, and ...

RAVEN in land mode – although other groups have previously attempted to build walking/flying robots, the legs have typically proven to be too heavy for sustained flight ...

BIRDS frequently perform strange antics in the air, both during courtship and at other times, and the air acrobatics of the raven have long been known. Thus Morris describes him as “performing ...

In the end, the robotic legs weighed around 230 grams, way more than the real ones in a carrion crow, but it turned out that was good enough for the RAVEN robot to walk, jump, take off, and fly ...

Birds such as crows and ravens may have a bad rap thanks to superstitions and negative portrayals in popular culture, but they offer a lot more than fodder for scary stories. In fact, they're ...
