Bats navigate chaos in complete darkness by listening to shifting echoes, adjusting speed instantly without tracking every ...

Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use echolocation to hunt for food. By creating a robot that can echolocate, the team ...

One of the problems with bats, if you're a robotics expert, is that they have so many joints. That's what robotics researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Caltech quickly ...

For the past 25 years, Professor of Engineering and Biology Sharon Swartz and Professor of Engineering Kenneth Breuer ’82 P’14 P’16 have been fascinated by animal flight. The two professors have ...

Bats are not only masters of aerodynamic flight — they’re skillful at multitasking while flying, too. By Rachel Nuwer Some humans like to think of themselves as good multitaskers, but bats may do it ...
