Check out this crazy slice of drone tech. This is the RAVEN or Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments by EPFL’s Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS). Weighing in at 1.37lbs it's a fixed wing drone with legs designed to resemble ravens. It can walk and hop with its legs allowing it to move and take off just about anywhere. This version did not include the capabilities for landing but they said they were working on it as of the end of 2024.
