Biologically Inspired Approaches to Overcome Mutual-Interference by Active Sensor Systems

Abstract

The main accomplishment in year two of the grant was the development of our UAV recording platform, and creation and implementation of an algorithm to quantify the FM shape of bat echolocation calls. This year also resulted in five publications for the PI, with three more publications under review/in preparation. In the summer of year two the PI traveled with one student and one post-doc to the main field site, a lava tube bat cave in New Mexico. At the cave, we recorded synchronized ultrasonic and video recordings of the bats during cave emergence and re-entry. The PI also completed the dolphin project in January 2018 in a consultation agreement with National Marine Mammal Foundation.
