Detecting sound sources in a physical space-of-interest is challenging due to strong ego-noise from micro aerial vehicles (MAVs)' propeller units, which is both wideband and non-stationary. The present subject matter discloses a system and method for acoustic source localization with aerial drones. In an embodiment, a wideband acoustic signal is received from an aerial drone. Further, the wideband acoustic signal is splitted into multiple narrow sub-bands having cells. Moreover, from a measurement position corresponding to each of the multiple narrow sub-bands, power in each of the cells is measured by forming a beam to each of the cells. In addition, intra-band and inter measurement fusion of the measured power at each of the cells is performed. Also, geo-location of an acoustic source corresponding to the wideband acoustic signal is identified upon performing intra-band and inter measurement fusion of the measured power.

A wave energy guiding system is described that includes a structural substrate formed according to a folded-pattern topology including, for example, an origami-type folded-pattern topology such as Miura-ori. The structural substrate includes a plurality of planar facets each positionable at an angle relative to adjacent planar facets. Each transducer of the plurality of transducers is positioned on a different one of the plurality of planar facets to form a transducer array. Adjustments to the angle of the adjacent planar facets cause a corresponding adjustment to a performance characteristic of the transducer array. In this way, the performance of the wave-energy guiding system can be adjusted and modified by adjusting the degree to which the structural substrate is folded in the folded-pattern topology.
