Description
Echolocation is about the use of sound with the purpose of perceiving aspects about the environment.
Echolocation is a technique used by some animals (noticeably, bats and dolphins). Here the concept is taken broadly, encompassing all techniques in which sound is part of the method and the spacial information is part of the outcome.

Additional Comments
The term "Echolocation" was coined by Donald Griffin in 1944, to describe the phenomenon by which bats could use reflected sounds to detect objects (which he and a fellow scientist first demonstrated in 1938). The presentation of his discovery is surrounded by interesting stories of disbelief and rejection, namely within the scientific community.
