In a recent posting I said ...

My mistake!  His name is Professor Leslie Kay !!

Here are some references to work by Kay and others on topics such as
in-air sonar, bats, mobile robot control, and aids for the blind.
Thanks especially to

        John J. Leonard, Ph. D.
        jleonard@athena.mit.edu
        MIT Sea Grant College Program

for most of these references.
