Impact of Biomimetic Pinna Shape Variation on Clutter Echoes: A Machine Learning Approach
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Bats with dynamic ear structures navigate dense, echo‐rich environments, yet the echoes they receive are highly random. This study shows that machine learning can reliably detect structural signatures in these seemingly chaotic biosonar signals. The results open new directions for biologically inspired sensing, where time‐varying receiver shapes ...
