Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use ...

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.

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 ...

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

There are over 1400 species of bats found around the world. And the way they navigate is hugely varied. The vast majority are using, as you might expect, echolocation. That's where an animal uses ...

Some species of European bats are known to attack birds as they migrate to Africa. However, they must trap them while in flight: a hard task for such small predators. The behaviour has previously been ...

To exploit a rich food resource that remains largely inaccessible to most predators, Europe’s largest bat captures, kills, and consumes nocturnally migrating birds in flight high above the ground, ...
