An artificial vision device for micro robots
Georgia State University (GSU) researchers have developed a ‘electric eye,‘ or artificial vision device, for micro-sized robots. The technology mimics the biochemical mechanisms that allow for vision in the natural environment by using synthetic ways. It advances prior research in colour recognition, which is a particularly tough area due to the difficulties of downscaling colour sensor devices. Traditional colour sensors take up a lot of room and aren’t very accurate when it comes to colour recognition. This was achieved through a unique vertical stacking architecture that offers a novel approach…
