Researchers made a robot bat that demonstrates how real bats use echolocation to find prey at night, contributing to the fields of biology, engineering, and robotics.

Like so many mini submarines equipped with sonar, they deftly navigate dark forests and caves by listening for the echoes of ...

A long-standing mystery about how wild bats navigate complex environments in complete darkness with remarkable precision, has ...

Scientists from diverse universities conducted controlled experiments to determine how big-eared bats detect insects ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Scientists built a robot to help explain how a tropical bat spots insects perched on leaves using echolocation, a highly ...

I said something similar in another article thread recently, but even though the hypothesis was widely expected to be true, it still represents good science to finally get around to testing it and ...

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 ...
