With feet and legs like a peregrine falcon, engineers have created a robot that can perch and carry objects like a bird.

A newly developed, bio-inspired aerial robot can land on a variety of branches and carry objects like a bird. “Birds take off and land on a wide range of complex surfaces,” while “current ...

With feet and legs like a peregrine falcon, engineers have created a robot that can perch and carry objects like a bird.

MIT researchers unveil perching bee robot "Perching onto structures can save energy and maintain a high, stable observation or resting position," researcher Mirko Kovac wrote.

Aerial robotics has rapidly evolved to incorporate perching mechanisms that enable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to transition from flight to a stationary state on diverse surfaces.

Announced this week, a team of Harvard roboticists has taken a major step toward giving robots some of the flight advantages enjoyed by birds and bees by giving them the ability to perch.

"For our robot, the perching method we developed requires about 500 to 1,000 times less energy than flying, thus prolonging the potential mission time," Graule told Live Science.
