HW 20: (Insect) Eye See You

So a few weeks ago a team announced they had developed a new type of camera, specifically one that could be used with robots, that is modeled after the eye of an insect.

Yesterday, a totally DIFFERENT team announced they had developed a very similar item.

Tonight I want you to read about both, and compare and contrast the two new camera devices.

Here is the first announcement, from about a week ago.

Here is the more recent announcement, from a day or so ago.

You need to READ both articles CAREFULLY.  (No video for this one sorry!)  For your paragraph response:

• You should include the 'basics' from the standard response
• Be sure to cite the two different teams and give credit for their work
• Compare AND contrast the two camera eyes: how are they similar, how are the different?
• How could this technology be used to improve robotics.

Remember, you are shooting for about a half-a-page response (typed etc), good luck!
