This ‘Machine Eye’ Could Give Robots Superhuman Reflexes
Researchers created a neuromorphic "machine eye" that encodes brightness differences to detect motion with ~100-microsecond latency, enabling optical-flow algorithms to run four times faster and markedly improving self-driving hazard detection and robotic-arm tracking.
Why it mattersBeihang University's neuromorphic chip halving latency to ~100 microseconds implies procurement priority for assistive-robot vendors.
