Echolocation might enable tiny robots to locate missing individuals

Echolocation might enable tiny robots to locate missing individuals

During their experiments, the researchers discovered that their approach is still not as precise as systems that require larger and more costly gear, such as GPS sensors or webcams. In future iterations, they want to increase its accuracy and remove the requirement for the system to make noises. Instead, they want their system to be able to echolocate using noises generated by the drone itself, such as the spin of its rotors.
