Robotic bat wings could aid in the design of novel flapping aircraft, researchers say. Scientists built a robot that mimics the wing shape and motions of the lesser dog-faced fruit bat (Cynopterus ...

In what would make an excellent sidekick for Batman, scientists have built a fascinating, unconventional flying robot that moves its wings and flies just like a bat. Covered with a thin, silicon skin, ...

Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use ...

Fancy flight tricks are a breeze for a new flying robot. Call it an acrobat. Bat Bot, a lightweight flier with thin silicone wings stretched over a carbon fiber skeleton, can cruise, dive and bank ...

Researchers have developed a robotic bat that flies just like the real mammal and features many of its musculoskeletal structures. While bats have inspired flying-machine designs as far back as ...

Bats are flying mammals. Think about that. Many millions of years after birds hollowed out their very bones in pursuit of flight, some gliding, insectivorous squirrel-thing was born with a slight ...
