Robotic bird sheds light on the mysteries of turbulent flight

A bio-inspired robotic bird that replicates the key movements of kestrels is helping researchers uncover the secrets behind the birds’ remarkable ability to hover. With climate change expected to intensify atmospheric turbulence, studying how birds naturally navigate and stabilize themselves in rough air could inform the design of small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs), making them

Robots can mix drinks and run marathons but still struggle to multitask

They can mix cocktails, run marathons, and fold laundry, but despite marketing claims, humanoid robots are still far from reliably handling many different tasks on demand. The difference was clear at the Robotics Summit in Boston in late May, where glossy marketing materials told one story while the engineers building the robots described another reality.
