The design of RAVEN, a drone with multifunctional avian-inspired legs, enables unprecedented transitions between land and air, expanding its operational environments.
RAVEN is designed to maximize gait diversity with lightweight legs, inspired by birds, allowing it to move autonomously in environments inaccessible to traditional drones.
Won Dong Shin highlights that birds can transition seamlessly between movement modes, unlike current robots which are limited in flexibility when it comes to locomotion.
Through mathematical modeling and experimental iterations, RAVEN's design balances leg complexity and weight to imitate avian abilities, thereby enhancing drone versatility.
