Here, we demonstrate obstacle and secondary drone avoidance capability by quadcopter drones that can perceive and react to modulation of their self-generated acoustic environment when in proximity to surfaces. A ground truth for the interpretation of... Read More about Seeing with sound; surface detection and avoidance by sensing self-generated noise.

Remarkable muscles, remarkable locomotion in desert-dwelling wildebeest (2018)
Journal Article
Curtin, N. A., Bartlam-Brooks, H. L. A., Hubel, T. Y., Lowe, J. C., Gardner-Medwin, A. R., Bennitt, M., Amos, S. J., Lorenc, M., West, T. G., & Wilson, A. M. (2018). Remarkable muscles, remarkable locomotion in desert-dwelling wildebeest. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0602-4

Large mammals that live in arid and/or desert environments can cope with seasonal and local variations in rainfall, food and climate1 by moving long distances, often without reliable water or food en route. The capacity of an animal for this long-dis... Read More about Remarkable muscles, remarkable locomotion in desert-dwelling wildebeest.
