Tiny Drones Inspired by Bats for Search and Rescue
Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute are developing tiny drones that use echolocation, like bats, to navigate in dark and challenging conditions.
The aerial robots are being designed for search and rescue missions, and are capable of operating in conditions that would be difficult or impossible for traditional drones.
- Use echolocation for navigation
- Designed for search and rescue missions
- Can operate in dark and challenging conditions
The robotics lab at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is working on this innovative project.
Authors summary: Tiny drones inspired by bats could save lives.
