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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

A white raven battles in flight with another raven in Midtown Anchorage on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023. The rare bird is likely leucistic which means it has a lack of the pigment melanin. (Bill Roth / ADN) ...

Scientists have designed a robot, called RAVEN, which can walk, jump, take-off and fly like a bird. Alain Herzog/EPFL. Where might flying robots be used?

We've long known ravens aren’t your typical bird brain: Myths featuring the wily black bird extend from Aesop’s fables to Native American folklore. In more recent times, experiments testing ...

Birds by their very nature, being aloft, being able to fly from place to place, and appearing at certain times of the year, were easy for ancient cultures to turn into gods, prophets and messengers.
