The compound eyes of the humble fruit fly are a marvel of nature. They are wide-angle and can process visual information ...

Concept of fast-zoom and high-resolution sparse CEC based on dual-end collaborative optimization. (a) Schematic diagram of imaging scene and the proposed sparse CEC based on liquid lenses. (b) ...

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 ...

Compound eyes are common in insects and crustaceans. They consist of an array of lenses that collect light from different directions and focus it precisely in one spot, where the receptor cells are ...

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 ...

Copying the human lens takes robotic technology a long-way; however, the compound eyes of insects provides a different level of visualization when it comes to peripheral vision. Other advantages that ...

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 ...

This intricate structure of blue rods and red dots is a cross section through the eye of a damselfly. Insects’ compound eyes are structured very differently than the eyes of humans and other mammals, ...

Researchers developed an insect-scale artificial compound eye, integrating vision and chemical sensing for enhanced navigation in drones and autonomous systems.
