Ji Chen’s team from Southeast University proposes a bioinspired motion detector based on planar metalens arrays. It realizes an ultra-wide 135° field of view and achieves high-precision perception of ...

Figure 1. (A) Vision in a fast-eyed insect. Reflected light from swiftly moving objects sequentially stimulates the photoreceptors along the individual optical channels called ommatidia, of which the ...

Here’s what compound eyes really do — and why flies see you in slow motion. In this episode of Big Ideas, Niba explores how insects actually see the world — from the structure of ommatidia to motion ...

Sensor fusion combines multiple sensing modalities to improve environmental perception, obstacle avoidance, and safety in autonomous systems. AI-enabled vision and 3D depth sensing are revolutionizing ...

Discover how the secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions, a 'turbo boost' feature in their brains, could revolutionise artificial intelligence and robotics by inspiring more energy-efficient ...

The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains ...
