Abstract: Biologically Inspired Sensors for Aeronautics Applications
In this talk, we will discuss biologically inspired sensors and some of their potential aeronautics applications. We will focus on a biomimetic fly eye sensor that is based on the vision system of the common house fly. The sensor has many practical advantages over traditional CCD cameras, such as the ability to detect very minute motions, faster processing speeds, high functionality in low light and low contrast environments, light weight, and low power requirements.
