We have seen a lot of drones take flight with the inspiration of birds. This drone takes off like a bird. The feet were inspired by crows on the campus of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Detailed in Nature from Won Dong, RAVEN Robotic (Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments) can walk jump and land. More from IEEE Spectrum:
Shin is first author on a paper published today in Nature that explores both why birds jump to take off, and how that can be beneficially applied to fixed-wing drones, which otherwise need things like runways or catapults to get themselves off the ground. Shin’s RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments) drone, with its bird-inspired legs, can do jumping takeoffs just like crows do, and can use those same legs to get around on the ground pretty well, too.
Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. Previous posts can be found via the #drone tag and our drone / UAV categories.
Animate your own stuffed bird with Adafruit Trinket-Modded Stuffed Animal
This tutorial will demonstrate animating a bird. I went looking for what materials I could use for the bird body. The electronics dictate the minimum size of the bird. It can be as large as you wish (you must scale the servo and power for large items). Digging in the closet, I found a Beanie Baby bird named Beak that was well suited to animation. A moderate-sized Angry Bird toy would work well also.
