A project at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has demonstrated an artificial compound eye that the team believes could revolutionize robot vision. Described in Science ...
The research paper was featured as the cover article in Science Robotics (Volume 9, Issue 90) in May 2024. The cover shows a fusion of an image composite of a robber fly’s eye on the left and an ...
A novel bio-inspired camera capable of ultra-high-speed imaging with high sensitivity was developed by mimicking the visual structure of insect eyes. The compound eyes of insects can detect ...
Natural compound eyes (NCEs) were first investigated by Robert Hooke in 1664 after he observed orderly arranged pearls in the cornea of a grey drone fly. These NCEs then inspired the development of ...
Electrical engineer Young Min Song remembers when his colleague at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea asked him why the eyes of the numerous stray cats around the institute ...
This study from MIT explores eye evolution through AI simulations, uncovering how different tasks shape visual systems and ...
