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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The primitive compound eyes of a horseshoe crab are one the largest to be found in nature. In contrast to many insects and spiders that build their eyes from glassy proteins, the horseshoe crab uses ...

The field of biomimetic imaging systems and artificial compound eyes represents a fusion of biological inspiration and advanced engineering to develop compact, high-performance visual devices. These ...
