A camera smaller than a fingernail can now see what most high-speed cameras miss. Inspired by the eyes of insects, scientists have created a tiny, powerful device that captures fast-moving scenes in ...

In today’s world, more and more daily tasks are being fully automated. Robotic devices can work independently, and they are often more efficient than humans. Yet, in some aspects, technology still ...

Inspired by the remarkable vision of cats, researchers have created a new artificial vision system that allows robots to detect and track objects even in challenging environments, breaking new ground ...

The eyes of raptors such as eagles can accurately perceive prey from kilometers away. Is it possible to model the camera technology after the bird's eyes? Researchers developed a new type of camera, ...

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 ...

A project at South Korea's Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has developed a perovskite-based camera with a design mimicking the eye of a bird. Published in Science Robotics, the project's findings ...
