One of the problems with bats, if you're a robotics expert, is that they have so many joints. That's what robotics researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Caltech quickly ...

The bat’s ability to dynamically reshape the configuration of its wings as it rises and falls in the sky has inspired robotics researchers in designing a drone for exploring confined spaces.

Scientists in the US have developed an extremely flexible flying robot, inspired by bats. It is hoped that as it develops, the mechanical flying mammal could one day be used for disaster rescue, ...
