Flying insects use compensatory head movements to stabilize gaze. Like other optokinetic responses, these movements can reduce image displacement, motion and misalignment, and simplify the optic flow ...

Night vision is ultimately about extracting information from a noisy visual input. Several species of nocturnal insects exhibit complex visually guided behaviour in conditions where most animals are ...

The way insects see and track their prey is being applied to a new robot under development at the University of Adelaide, in the hopes of improving robot visual systems. The project - which crosses ...

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 ...

An organic synapse array enables night vision and pattern recognition in insect robots by detecting near-infrared light and triggering real-time motor responses. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect-scale ...

Knight Optical offer a range of Stock Polarisers that can be used in the study of insect vision. Insects exhibit sensitivity to linear polarised light. Insects polarise light in their vision for a ...

Scientists at Newcastle University, UK have discovered neurons in insect brains that compute 3D distance and direction. Understanding these could help vision in robots. In stunning images captured ...

A team of scientists from South Ural State University has created a mathematical model of a complex insect eye, which will later be used for a prototype device based on computer vision technology. In ...

SolidddVision smartglasses, inspired by the eyes of a fly and powered by virtual reality technology, are offering a miraculous chance for people suffering from macular degeneration to regain their ...
