A team of scientists has just built the first robot that looks and flies like a bat. They named it, of course, Bat Bot. Bat Bot is nothing short of an engineering marvel. It weighs in at only 3.3 ...

It's name is Bat Bot, or B2 for short ... of bat wings in flight drew them to the animal as a model for flying robots. The magazine IEEE Spectrum has been following pre-publication progress ...

It’s an autonomous robot called Bat Bot (B2) and it comes remarkably close to replicating the look and style of organic bat flight. Their work was published this week in the science journal ...

The biomimetic robotic platform, dubbed Bat Bot B2, is an autonomous flying robot. The wing mechanics are controlled by a brushless DC motor for the wing flapping along with four wings actuators ...

Their robots were relatively simple in terms of ... the feelings or well-being of the target animal (via Secemu). The Bat Bot is surprisingly effective, both aesthetically and mechanically.
