A pod of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) swimming at the Las Cuevitas dive site in the Revillagigedo Archipelago. We typically imagine echolocation as “seeing” with sound—experiencing ...

A team of researchers from the University of Alcalá de Henares (UAH) has shown scientifically that human beings can develop echolocation, the system of acoustic signals used by dolphins and bats to ...

When you think of echolocation, you probably think of bats or dolphins. But echolocation has also been used as a way for blind people to navigate, too. Despite the skill's usefulness, few blind people ...

(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 ...

According to a new study, we may have been thinking about dolphins’ echolocation all wrong. Rather than using it to “see” the world around them, as in constructing a picture of their environment from ...

Dolphins and whales use sound to communicate, navigate and hunt. New research suggests that the collections of fatty tissue that enable toothed whales to do so may have evolved from their skull ...

Blind as a bat? Hardly. All bats can see to some degree, and certain species possess prominent eyes and a keen sense of vision. Take the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus). This species is ...

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 ...

People who are blind are able to better complete various practical and navigation tasks with the help of echolocation, new research suggests. Echolocation occurs when an animal emits a sound that ...

Toposens GmbH has introduced its ultrasonic echolocation sensor for 3D collision avoidance. The sensor is available in an industrial-grade sensor development kit, called ECHO ONE DK, which is based on ...
