University of Virginia have developed artificial compound eyes inspired by the praying mantis, addressing critical limitations in self-driving cars and other applications. These biomimetic eyes integrate microlenses and photodiodes within a flexible, hemispherical design, offering enhanced depth perception and a wide view. By mimicking the mantis’ binocular vision it acheives an accurate 3D spatio perception.
