It is a technology based on echolocation, It relies on
intelligent design and biomimicry.
Biomimicry or biomimetics has recently become a success, that
is, copying amazing design seen in nature, has become a flourishing
research field.
“While it’s well-known that bats use a natural sonar
system to navigate by emitting sound waves and interpreting the returning
echoes, previous research indicated that bats also rely on vision during
flight,” researchers from Tel Aviv University and Tel Aviv’s Steinhardt Museum
of Natural History said.
Echolocation is a biological sonar system used by
certain animals, including bats, dolphins, and some birds, to navigate and
locate objects in their environment by producing sound waves.
The study provides the first empirical evidence that
bats construct such detailed acoustic maps in natural settings, which enhances
our understanding of their complex sensory and cognitive abilities.
