Envisioning Robots with Eyes of a Fly
     


Fiberoptic vision
sensors developed by the Naval Air Warfare Center
and the University of Wyoming, inspired by the eye structure
of the common houseflies, might improve operation of future robots.
The analog eyes along with their parallel processing system are very good
at locating edges of tiny objects, and creating a view of the object even
beyond the resolution of the detectors.  As the object moves
across the sensor, edge transitions effectively adds resolution to the
information.
Applications for the sensor with its 1mm ball lens include medical,
industrial, defense, and commercial robots.
