Scientists at the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) have developed a wearable bionic device that replicates birds’ exceptional visual capabilities and operates with near-zero power consumption. This innovation represents a notable achievement in creating more efficient and advanced machine vision systems, with the potential to significantly impact how autonomous systems interact with their surroundings. The findings are published in Nature Communications.
