The "Robat" is a fully autonomous terrestrial robot with bat-like qualities that uses echolocation to move through novel environments while mapping them based only on sound . Normally Bats use echolocation to map novel environments, navigating them by emitting sound then extracting information from the echoes reflected by objects in their surroundings.

The Robat is equipped with an ultrasonic speaker that produces frequency at a rate typically used by bats, as well as two ultrasonic microphones that serve as the robot's ears.The time delay of the echo tells Robat how far away objects are.Remember this concept? which we have learnt in our expert level "ULTRA SONIC SENSOR"

Robat classifies the borders and shapes of the objects it encounters with an artificial neural network, creating accurate map of its environment in a botanical garden.Robat then drove through the environment avoiding obstacles, drawing a map of the surroundings along the way.
