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?
