Bat-inspired ultrasound lets palm-sized drones navigate through fog, smoke

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are using ultrasound sensors and a type of artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Drones inspired by bats could save lives during search and rescue missions, WPI researcher says

The way bats fly suggests that ultrasound could be an alternative to existing navigation technologies, researchers said.
