Researchers put bird legs on a drone so it can take off by jumping

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

Swiss researchers have developed a drone with a pair of bird-inspired legs that allow the drone to walk around, hop over obstacles, and even leap into the air to take flight without the need for a runway.

RAVEN ’s operations aren’t limited to airports or areas with smooth surfaces, which traditional wheeled landing gear requires.

It also doesn't require human intervention to get airborne again.
