The thing I love about these robots is that they are so simple in construction. It's the way the software controls them that makes them so good. The future of robotics gets more exciting every day.
i always wanted to make a ligher than air squid bot that rotated cylinders making up its legs to make them like squid arms and used suction cups and compressed air(like a squid) to propel itself around have it collect moisture from air it takes in and run on solar/hydrogen hybrid power and have it float via its fuel/have a large hydrogen bog in main body that rendered it neutral buoyancy
It's scary. I'm former military and this would be a perfect hunter killer drone. Scale it up to the size of a crow. Give it small grenades, ping-pong sized "eggs". Imagine a programed version of this thing hoping or flying around on battlefield. A "case-less" .22 pistol inside the robot would make it perfect for hunting people. BTW, those "eggs" could be programmed to explode in a certain direction. That's a shape charge and can knock a small hole though tanks. I'm not that smart. If I've though of this then it's 100% under development.
@@Easy-Eight Quadcopters already do that in ukraine, even more efficient than this fancy drone in the video. I am RC enthusiast and when i've seen quadquapters starting to become popular, said to myself there won't be long untill these devices will be used for filming, then filming drones were on the market, then i said to myself, if these things start to become weapons the world would be a scary place. Just look on youtube what some of the RC quadcopter race drivers can do with these drones. These drones are very fast, can land almost anywhere and clear a building in no time. An experienced Race RC pilot with 2 meters drone armed with a machine gun on it can cause hell on a battle field. Luckly the army pilots are no were near that kind of skill flying these things, and let's hope they will never be. Once AI is developed enough to control these drones just like a human. With enough money a single man can fight an entire country and win within days.
When time machines are finally invented, scientists could use the RAVEN to transport tropical coconuts back to 10th Century Britain so that all the people could enjoy the convenience of imaginary equestrian mobility.

Awesome. VTOL technologies have been developped for years, if not decades. The whole transition process from slow to cruise flight takes a big slice on the battery capacity. So this could help combining fixed foils without the added costs and complexity and increase range of V-hop planes. Freaking awesome.
I absolutely love the slow mo shots where it just jumps and drops on some net XD looks like it was trying to fly but cartoonishly dropped after realizing it's not moving forward XD
This will scale nicely for commercial air travel. I can just see the thin, lightweight legs launching a 9,000,000-pound jumbo jet without the need for a runway. Nice job!
This is very cool, props to the engineers! It would also be very cool if the same people who are planning to use this as spy and war drones would spend some money on helping preserve environments for real birds. At the current rate of bird loss on Earth, these drone-birds may be the only ones our grandkids will see.
So it's like a modern metal gear. A plane with legs (metal gear ray, which has legs), instead of a plane with wheels (the Shagohod with wheels) It can jump like the Metal Gear Ray, it has a tail like the Ray. Since it can not hover I would not compare it to a drone, right?
I've done a lot of flying in STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) ultralights, and long dreamt of building an aircraft that could leap into the air just like this. Old age caught up before I could work on it.....
Ornithopters, especially toy-ish ones that are not expensive but fly well, are super fun. Super fun. But, beware of other bird that eat other birds; they will snatch it out of the air and you will never see it again. I'm not a kit person so I am hoping somebody comes out with a good one at some point.
You know? This sort of gives me some ideas of creating a post-human world featuring these lil’ fellas as the, “Birds” that gather energy by following the sun, and some get to be as big as Albatrosses. Lots of different variations, shapes, functionalities… That sort of thing. It’s honestly super cute in its own way, thinking about these lil’ bionic chicks clumsily learning how to get the thrust vectors and engine speeds right for flight.
Only if it could perch on twig! Ok, takeoff, one of the most difficult, laborious phase cleared, safe landing is the next challenge! Walk better than penguins. Talking of penguins, I wish scientists could demonstrate a penguin-mimic robot UNDER water some day!
This reminds me of the space fighter in megamanx4 space port stage. In the second part of the stage u can see these thing in the background. They are bird space fighter craft
Flying drones, Robot dog, robot bird, robot insects, and humanoid robots …. Are we closer to the mega man world than we thought ? Battle network, robot master, and ai…
Birds are just never going to beat the allegations at this rate
😂
The government drone people are gonna love this
"I knew it"
CIA already had similar stuff. Check out the Insectothopter from the 1970s. Who knows what they have now.
@@Earth_Rim_Roameryeah and it was a flop remember
hahaha I thought about that too
They are revealing the early stages of an old and already improved technology.
Can't help thinking that someone is going to build a cat drone to catch these bird drones...
Literally a murder drone
@@Simongravitrax ...
A hawk drone
What a comment 😂🤣😅
they should build a hawk, too

@violetquinnlaw Well sure. Doesn't every young aeronautics engineer want to build a flying chemo-electronic squid bot? 😂
I'm waiting for this to be added to commercial airlines. "This is your pilot speaking, fasten your seatbelts and prepare for hop off"
Future of Boeing, bring raincoat. 😉
Okay now I need to build one
I didnt expect to see you here. YES we need more DRehm FC !
Do it do it do it >:]
Hola
New VTOL delivery platform?
@@NickMcCarthy-z9d very good for delivering worms & breadcrumbs
The jump is hilarious :D
i never realised that ravens have a BLDC motor inside their beaks. Learn something new everyday!
I love this. Even if it never develops into something for practical use this would be an excelent toy. I'm 50+ and I want one.

With the way the human species is going, you could transport yourself four years into the future and there you'll be, completely alone.
Please someone tell what book they are referencing here 😂
Is it a Swallow? It's literally called RAVEN

@@mark261166 3 months ago, we picked up a baby pigeon. He still lives with us. He is constantly ill with something. We'll let him go in the summer.
pigeons are just rats in a wing suit.
That's the most amazing VTOL technology I've ever seen! :D
B-TOL
It's not, but it's still amazing
@@Ducky69247 yeah we in the biz call that rhetoric technique "hyperbole". That's with a "Boh Lee" at the end and not a "bowl". Confusing, I know.

Interesting. I had exactly the same thought, or similar anyway regarding this approach vs. VTOL mass and complexity.
The more we advance, the more we return to the genius of nature for inspiration and guidance.
I absolutely love the slow mo shots where it just jumps and drops on some net XD looks like it was trying to fly but cartoonishly dropped after realizing it's not moving forward XD
This toy should be mass produced and made available to the general public.
First cool thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Congratulations..?
Awesome ! What about landing ?
Since they don't show it in the video I'm guessing that is still something they haven't worked out yet.
Imagine you've just shot a flying pigeon.... The landing that results is how these drones will land. 😂🤣
New Jersey hobbyists are gonna love this very much.
This will scale nicely for commercial air travel. I can just see the thin, lightweight legs launching a 9,000,000-pound jumbo jet without the need for a runway. Nice job!
Great content!
first video in a while to actually amaze me
Looks more efficient than VTOL. While not necessarily less complex, the components can have substantially less mass. Interesting design.
Their legs are sophisticated.
Is the up and down movement of the 'tail' (see 0:35) purposeful to help balance the 'bird' for flight or is it accidental?
This is amazing and this is the future i want to see.
The autotranslated German video title is "FliegenGehenDrohne v4" which makes no sense at all lmao
- "GoingFlyingDrone v4"
At that scale, hand or vertical launching a fixed wing drone is pretty easy. Seems like a solution looking for a problem.
Targetted killing, assassination, ...
Ok i ll now start studying robotics to recreate this one.
This is amazing.
Next RC Toy of the future ! 👍👍👍🤘🤘👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome! Where buy?
Remarkable technology !
Now think about the plane you are inside just jumps to the air
But first it stomps away from the gate like a T-Rex, and all the passengers not buckled in get tossed around like popcorn. 😆
I NEED this!! way better than a catapult or bungee launch... SWEET!
It's a very serious attempt, but .... A lovely birdie! Can't help chuckles.
Takeoff taxing would be a next challenge with a heavier body! Good luck !
Coming to Switzerland for this !!

This is such a cool idea
I remeber learning about ornithopters at school in the 90's. Id imagine theyd progressed a bit from then.
❤❤
"Raven. That's your new name here on Rubicon, 621."
Cool !
hops like a magpie.
Neat robot! I'm still a fan of birds though, they provide the circle of life, and allow us to exist.
Well done! 👌🔥
I love the propeller they dont go chrping but the sound propeller does
So it's like a modern metal gear.
A plane with legs (metal gear ray, which has legs),
instead of a plane with wheels (the Shagohod with wheels)
It can jump like the Metal Gear Ray, it has a tail like the Ray.
Since it can not hover I would not compare it to a drone, right?
Micro Gear Ray lol
Lets see how far they can fly...
on borrowed wings. - Raven, Armored Core 6

Very cool!
Military Industrial complex: " Ok, Now what's the biggest size explosive can we put on it? "
The French are working on an amphibian-based version: Hop-off, Frog
Finally it starts flying using its engines
It would be amazing to see this on the moon and Mars
Maybe Mars, but there’s no atmosphere on the moon lol
와 이런식으로 영화에서나 보던 사람을 보조 해주는 로봇도 만들 수 있겠네.
스마트 기기의 다변화도 만들 수 있을듯. 재밌고 멋진 로봇이네요
自然に出来ていることがようやく出来るようになってきた、よちよち歩きの人類。
Could pave the way, but it's probably a lot more moving parts / potential points of failure. Still very cool.
can't wait for a giant passenger plain to leap into the air with legs
Looks cool. I guess it was also fun to work on this.
AWESOME!
Reverse engeeneering this is a great reasone to start studying robotics

INvention
This kind of obsession which I need!
Birds are drones before GTA 6
I’m just picturing a full-size passenger plane with giant bird legs hopping into the air and flying away 😂
How does it land?

These are going to be way cooler, when you can fit a human pilot inside
Yeah...they have to scale this up.
I think quad-launching like pterosaurs and vampire bats are the way to go for winged drones. 😎

Horizon looking real Non-fiction right about now.
Will those be comercially awalible soon?
Are RAVENs blueprints released?
Where can i find them?
May they release them?
I would hate to be launched in to the air on a jumping aeroplane ✈️
They really wanted the "R.A.V.E.N" acronym to fit
where do i get proper understnding of the raven
"Its a bird"
It's a plane"
"It's bird-enspired robotic drone"
Amazing.
so how are you gonna land it?
Now make one in the size of an airplane, traveling is going to get crazy
This type of tech is my dream ya ,wow you are doing good
I am really annoyed by the loud music in the background. Why??? It only serves to make the speaker less comprehensible.
brilliant

Wouldn't be legs with wheels even more suitable for an airplane? So it could walk but also achieve higher airborne speeds on flat surfaces.
Take my money! How soon can it be delivered?
LOL RIGHT - he said how soon will it be here b? 🤔🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨ for real - this is dope!
"I fuckin knew maaaan"-him
I can't wait until commercial aircraft get legs! Imagine, a 747 with legs!
Yooooo how do we get one?
It looks like a Plane with Legs
I told you birds weren’t real! 🖤🖤🖤
Looking forward to my plane jumping off instead of using a runway lol. All jokes aside this is truly incredible!
