The RAVEN drone can seamlessly transition between walking, hopping, and flying, significantly enhancing its versatility in various environments, inspired by the movement of birds.
This drone incorporates bird-inspired articulated legs, allowing it to navigate challenging terrains, hop over obstacles, and leap into flight, improving operational capabilities.
Developed by EPFL and UC Irvine, RAVEN aims to replace fixed-wing aircrafts, pulling inspiration from ravens and crows to enhance drone functionality.
RAVEN’s design includes a sophisticated system of springs and motors, effectively mimicking bird muscle structure, providing the necessary flexibility and strength for dynamic movement.
