  • Now, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a camera that mimics this feat to achieve ultra-high-speed imaging. Interestingly, this bio-inspired camera surpasses the limitations of traditional high-speed cameras.

The article discusses a groundbreaking camera technology inspired by insect eyes, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. This camera, which mimics the compound eyes of insects, can capture images at an impressive rate of 9,120 frames per second, even in lighting conditions 40 times darker than what current cameras require. This innovation could revolutionize fields like autonomous driving, where fast and accurate imaging in low light is crucial, and in robotics, where energy efficiency and compact design are key. The camera's design uses a unique combination of microlenses and a hemispherical arrangement to achieve this high-speed, low-light performance, potentially setting a new standard for imaging technology.
