The optic flow, ie, the displacement of retinal images of objects in the environment induced
by self-motion, is an important source of spatial information, especially for fast-flying insects …

Simple Summary Optic flow can be defined as a vector field of the apparent motion of
objects, surfaces, and edges in a visual scene caused by the relative motion between an …

Flight through cluttered environments, such as forests, poses great challenges for animals
and machines alike because even small changes in flight path may lead to collisions with …

Honey bees exhibit remarkable visual learning capacities, which can be studied using
virtual reality (VR) landscapes in laboratory conditions. Existing VR environments for bees …

Honeybees foraging and recruiting nest-mates by performing the waggle dance need to be
able to gauge the flight distance to the food source regardless of the wind and terrain …

Estimating distance traveled is a frequently arising problem in robotic applications designed
for use in environments where GPS is only intermittently or not at all available. In UAVs, the …

Simple Summary A dynamically developing civilization is constantly increasing the demand
for electricity. Increasing energy consumption and communication range contributes to the …

The impressive repertoire of honeybee visually guided behaviors, and their ability to learn
has made them an important tool for elucidating the visual basis of behavior. Like other …

To investigate altitude control in honeybees, an optical configuration was designed to
manipulate or cancel the optic flow. It has been widely accepted that honeybees rely on the …

One persistent question in animal navigation is how animals follow habitual routes between
their home and a food source. Our current understanding of insect navigation suggests an …
