A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute used a robot to mimic common big-eared bats' echolocation skills ...

(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 possess remarkable sensory abilities, utilizing echolocation with incredible precision to map their surroundings and detect object properties. Beyond sound, their specialized vision extends into ...

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. This finding, recently ...

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

The researchers: “For the first time, we have shown that bats are able to navigate great distances in open areas with their eyes closed, using only echolocation; they even create a mental acoustic map ...

Scientists have finally cracked the code on how bats fly through dense forests without crashing. This discovery of sound flow is set to revolutionise how we build high-speed drones.
