Engineers in the U.K. are taking cues from one of nature's most skilled aviators — the owl — to design smarter, more agile drones that could transform how we inspect sprawling wind farms and dense ...

Drones have become vital tools for deliveries, inspections, and emergency response. Yet their designs remain split between two extremes. Rotary-wing drones, like quadcopters, are agile but drain ...

Instead of relying on complex computer simulations, researchers are testing the manoeuvres in real-world experiments using Surrey’s motion capture lab. A number of lightweight prototypes have already ...

A new type of drone, inspired by the aerial precision of birds of prey, could one day navigate through dense city skyscrapers to deliver our packages or inspect hard-to-reach offshore wind farms, ...
