Bradley, Aidan J.Abaid, Nicole2025-02-062025-02-062024-10-29https://hdl.handle.net/10919/124512Evidence suggests that bats are able to take advantage of both their own echolocation signals (active sensing) and the signals of conspecifics in their environment (passive sensing). This work follows a bioinspired approach to investigate whether we can enable robots to do the same. We have simulated a pair of vehicles that acoustically sense their environment both actively and passively. Our results show that, while the ability to fuse acoustic sensing techniques may not provide a significant improvement over active sensing alone, it is rarely worse and often allows for more information about the environment to be observed.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalConference proceedinghttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifacol.2025.01.001Abaid, Nicole [0000-0002-0053-4710]
