WPI researchers are enabling aerial robots, smaller than 100 mm and weighing less than 100 g, to navigate without relying on vision.

A robotics engineering professor is building tiny, autonomous flying robots that can use sound waves to navigate in total darkness like bats.

Robotics experts are testing tiny drones that can be deployed in search and rescue missions even in dark, smoky or stormy conditions.

WPI's PeAR Bat uses ultrasonic echolocation like bats to navigate smoke and darkness for autonomous rescue missions ...

But development didn't go completely smoothly. The researchers realised that the noise of the bat robot's propellers interfered with the ultrasound, requiring 3D printed shells to minimise the ...
