Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orientate themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid succession and evaluating the calls’ reflections. Yet, they have retained ...

Echolocating bats have been found to possess an acoustic cognitive map of their home range, enabling them to navigate over kilometer-scale distances using echolocation alone. Echolocating bats have ...

Bat vocal communication encompasses a diverse array of acoustic signals ranging from echolocation pulses that facilitate spatial mapping to complex social calls used in foraging, mating, and ...

To help small aerial robots navigate in the dark and other low-visibility environments, my colleagues and I developed an ultrasound-based perception system inspired by bat echolocation. Current robots ...
