EPFL researchers have built a drone that can walk, hop, and jump into flight with the aid of birdlike legs, greatly expanding the range of potential environments accessible to unmanned aerial vehicles. RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments), designed based on perching birds like ravens and crows that frequently switch between air and land, the multifunctional robotic legs allow it to take off autonomously in environments previously inaccessible to winged drones.

Meet the robot bird that leaps into the air. Researchers at EPFL have developed RAVEN, a robot inspired by birds’ ability to seamlessly navigate land and air. With multifunctional legs, RAVEN can jump into flight, walk, and hop over obstacles—just like its avian counterparts. Jumping take-offs are not only faster but also more energy-efficient than traditional methods, making RAVEN ideal for tackling complex terrains. Could this bird-inspired design pave the way for more versatile multi-modal robots?

Energy efficient morphing drones inspired by birds. A new control system for avian-inspired drones developed at EPFL is taking adaptive flight to the next level. Designed with morphing wings and tails, these drones offer exceptional agility and energy efficiency, mimicking the dynamics of bird flight. The system leverages all available actuators to maintain stability—even in turbulent air or with partial system failures—making it incredibly resilient. Using in-flight optimization, the drones improve energy efficiency by up to 11.5% at speeds of 8, 10, and 12 m/s. This tech could reshape autonomous drone operations, from navigating diverse wind conditions to maximizing energy conservation.

#Myanmar's resistance groups are improving their flying capability to fight the junta, albeit less. Here's our latest AJ Edwards report on Karenni group's attacking drone development. "When we were assigned the drone mission, we were incredibly inspired by the Ukrainian forces, as it was during their war. We were inspired by their use of the drone to attack the tank." #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
