A New Bionic Eye Could Give Robots and the Blind 20/20 Vision
WEBBy Edd Gent. May 22, 2020. A bionic eye could restore sight to the blind and greatly improve robotic vision, but current visual sensors are a long way from the impressive attributes of nature’s design. Now researchers have found a way to mimic its structure and create an artificial eye that reproduces many of its capabilities.
A Massively Strong Beetle Just Inspired a Lightweight Flying Robot
WEBAug 1, 2024 · One of the largest and strongest beetles in the world hardly seems the best inspiration for a delicate flying microbot. But using slow-motion cameras to capture the critters in flight, an international team designed a flying micromachine that can similarly expand and retract its wings. The robot—resembling a rocket before takeoff and a flying insect once airborne—deploys its wings for ...
