The RAVEN drone incorporates bird-inspired robotic legs, enabling efficient takeoffs from uneven terrain by walking and jumping, thus revolutionizing drone design principles.
Inspired by observing crows at EPFL, the team developed the RAVEN drone to mimic bird legs, achieving more efficient takeoffs up to 10 times faster than traditional methods.
This unique design allows RAVEN to take off and land safely without runways, making it capable of navigating complex environments with ease.
The innovative use of bipedal legs in drones reflects a significant shift in engineering principles, moving away from traditional aircraft designs to more biomechanically efficient solutions.
