However, signals that evolved for one purpose may develop other functions. Some porpoises appear to use rhythmic patterns of "echolocation" clicks as communicative signals. When a whale makes a low-frequency so
Some of these hunters have developed echolocation abilities to help them find their prey and locate any obstacles. Echolocation is a very simple concept: The whale emits a series of clicks (or other sounds) from its mouth or from organs in its head, and the sound waves travel out in the ...
This whole thing really boils down to freedom. Freedom of movement and personal choice, the ability to use flash sonar effectively, to enhance and expand one’s ability to move and navigate comfortably and freely through the environment and through the world. To develop their own relationship wit...

Our individuality allows for things like culture and tradition to develop and establish a sense of what it means to be human. Perhaps the variance of personalities within octopuses allows them to develop a sense of culture in a similar way to humans. However, to determine that we would have ...
through a series of careful empirical studies had discovered that bats used echolocation (essentially, a form of ultra-high frequency sonar) to avoid obstacles and detect their insect prey. Griffin then shocked the animal behavior establishment when in a series of carefully argued books—notablyA...
All these represent inefficiencies in natural selection (when viewed as a means of evolving intelligence) that it would be relatively easy for a human engineer to avoid while using evolutionary algorithms to develop intelligent software. It seems plausible that avoiding inefficiencies like those just ...
Since many bats use echolocation for orientation and prey detection (Schnitzler et al., 2003), acoustic surveys are a widely used method for adequately monitoring bat populations (Barataud, 2012). They can be a fundamental tool to develop biodiversity surveys and monitoring plans in arid ...

How can we get this type of knowledge into our learning machines? To address this problem, we need to develop a mathematical theory for representing common sense knowledge that can be implemented in computer software.We start off with a set of primitive objects in the world which ...
