Flying insects are able to fly smartly in an unpredictable environment. It has been found that
flying insects have smart neurons inside their tiny brains that are sensitive to visual motion …

Motion perception is a critical capability determining a variety of aspects of insects' life,
including avoiding predators, foraging, and so forth. A good number of motion detectors …

Neurobiological and neuroethological findings on insects can be used to design and
construct small robots controlling their navigation on the basis of bio-inspired visual …

Hybrid ground and aerial vehicles can possess distinct advantages over ground-only or
flight-only designs in terms of energy savings and increased mobility. In this work we outline …

Two bio-inspired guidance principles involving no reference frame are presented here and
were implemented in a rotorcraft, which was equipped with panoramic optic flow (OF) …

Here we present the first systematic comparison between the visual guidance behaviour of a
biomimetic robot and those of honeybees flying in similar environments. We built a miniature …

Physiological studies have shown that a group of locust's lobula giant movement detectors
(LGMDs) has a diversity of collision selectivity to approaching objects, relatively darker or …

For use in autonomous micro air vehicles, visual sensors must not only be small, lightweight
and insensitive to light variations; on-board autopilots also require fast and accurate optical …

Optic flow-based autopilots for Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) need lightweight, low-power
sensors to be able to fly safely through unknown environments. The new tiny 6-pixel visual …

The problem of pursuit has been studied mostly in the context of missile guidance and
navigation; however, it is also an essential component in biological systems ranging from …
