Neuroscientists are giving praying mantises 3D glasses, in research that could help give robots 3D vision. There are many things about this idea that I love, first and foremost that A) the little ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3D vision - providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. Most knowledge about 3D vision has come from vertebrates, however, a team from ...

Hey, dude, check out my specs! A praying mantis wears 3D "glasses" for an experiment proving that these insects use 3D vision to hunt. Hey, dude, check out my specs! A praying mantis wears 3D "glasses ...

Giving whole new meaning to the term "bug eyed," researchers glue tiny glasses to the weird insect that sees and hunts in 3D in hopes of understanding 3D vision better. The 3D-video craze may have ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new, simple scanning system can create precise 3D models of insects in color. The system uses off-the-shelf equipment, including ...

Some brilliant minds in Australia have a new 3D modeling system that can model insects as small as 3 mm and bring their characteristics … Some brilliant minds in Australia have a new 3D modeling ...

Observation is a cornerstone of science – we learn much about the universe and how it works just by looking at it. But observation can be a huge challenge. It's easy to forget that human eyes allow us ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...
