The physical mechanism of beam formation in dolphin’s biosonar [PDF]
作为群居的海洋哺乳动物,齿鲸类拥有着与众不同且功能强大的生物声呐系统。其生物声呐系统经过自然界的长期演化和优胜劣汰,性能已高度优化。海豚的回声定位声波能够在百米内探测到厘米级大小的物体,并对毫米级厚度的金属目标做出辨别,此外还能在探测移动目标的时候对其波束特性进行调整,其性能远远优于目前世界上任何的人工声呐。其生物声呐系统卓越的性能引起了世界上声学研究者强烈的兴趣,不但使得齿鲸类生物声呐研究成为近年来生物声学界以及国际海洋声学界的焦点,还成为新型海洋技术开发值得关注的高新科技领域 ...

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool
ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Hawkmoths Produce Anti-Bat Ultrasound [PDF]
Bats and moths have been engaged in aerial warfare for nearly 65 Myr. This arms race has produced a suite of counter-adaptations in moths, including bat-detecting ears.

Neuronal activity underlying vocal production in bats
Bats are known for their highly evolved echolocation and social vocalizations. They have been well studied in terms of auditory processing, but their neural circuits for vocal production are far less understood. This review highlights recent progress in mapping neural activity linked to vocalization in bats.

ABSTRACT Beaked whales (Cetacea; Ziphiidae), one of the most diverse families of cetaceans, can be identified by species‐specific, frequency‐modulated echolocation signals. Of the 24 known species of beaked whales, over half have been assigned a unique signal type. A novel echolocation pulse belonging to an unknown beaked whale species was recorded off

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications
Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...
