Batting flying objects to the target in 2D

2016 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2016
This paper presents a planning algorithm for a 2-DOF robotic arm to bat a flying 2D object to a targeted location. Impact dynamics are combined with trajectory kinematics and manipulator dynamics to compute the evolving set of states (poses and velocities) of the arm able to achieve the task as the object is flying.

Interception of Flying Insects by Bats

1983
Many species of insectivorous bats (Chiroptera) use echolocation to find their prey and to avoid obstacles to their flight (Griffin 1958). An echolocating bat emits sonar sounds in the frequency range from 10 to over 100 kHz and perceives objects from the echoes of these sounds returning to its ears (Novick 1977, Schnitzler and Henson 1980).

Representation of Three-Dimensional Space in the Hippocampus of Flying Bats

Science, 2013
Bats, Grids, and Oscillations Nearly all animals move around in a three-dimensional (3D) world; however, very little is known about the neural circuitry underlying the representation of 3D space (see the Perspective by Barry and Doeller

Insectivora, flying lemurs and bats

1977
Although John Ray in the 17th Century with great foresight used toes and teeth as the basis for mammalian classification, he failed to recognise the Insectivora as a natural group. This was evidently due to the fact that the form of their toes and teeth, with some exceptions such as the limbs of moles, are generalised and do not show the special ...

Biochemical correlates of flying behaviour in bats

Australian Journal of Zoology, 1978
The activities of glycolytic and Krebs cycle enzymes, and the distribution and functional properties of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, were determined in pectoral muscles from a range of bats that differ in flying behaviour. Correlations were found between flying patterns, and the degree to which the pectoral muscle depended upon anaerobic ...

Conservation Status of Flying Mammal: Bats

2013
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats belong to order Chiroptera of class Mammalia and are the only mammals that are capable of true flight. There are over 4,000 mammalian species in the world and almost one in four of them is a bat. At present, there are approximately 1001 species of bats that are subcategorized as Megachiroptera (1 ...

Bat Bot (B2), a biologically inspired flying machine

2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016
It is challenging to analyze the aerial locomotion of bats because of the complicated and intricate relationship between their morphology and flight capabilities. Developing a biologically inspired bat robot would yield insight into how bats control their body attitude and position through the complex interaction of nonlinear forces (e.g., aerodynamic)
