After studying how insects navigate through dense vegetation, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have come up with a system that can be applied to flying robots. By adapting the system to drones, they can be made to adjust their speed to their surroundings and fly on their own– completely...
All animals need some form of warning system that prevents them from colliding with objects in their surroundings. The warning system helps them to continually regulate their speed and determine their distance from objects. The Vision Group at the Department of Biology in Lund studies how insects control their progress...
Some insects have exellent nocturnal vision, despite having the same type of compound eyes as insects that are active during the day. Nocturnal bees in the rainforests of Panama can percieve light intensities that are 100 million times weaker than daylight! HOW DO FLYING INSECTS IMPROVE THEIR EYESIGHT AT NIGHT?...
The way that nocurnal insects intensify incoming light could be used to improve how cameras function in low light. Eric Warrent had the idea of applying his insect vision algorithm to a video camera. The algorithm senses how light it is and how much the camera is moving. Just as...
