Researchers have developed an AI sensor inspired by the dung beetle's ability to navigate using the Milky Way.
Taking cues from the humble dung beetle, scientists have created an AI sensor that precisely measures the orientation of the Milky Way.Researchers at the University of South Australia have taken inspiration from the humble dung beetle, renowned for its navigational prowess, to create a groundbreaking AI sensor for navigating in low-light conditions.
The research was conducted by Professor Javaan Chahl and his team of PhD students and stemmed from the dung beetle’s extraordinary ability to navigate at night using the Milky Way as a guide.“Insects have been solving navigational problems for millions of years, including those that even the most advanced machines struggle with,” said Professor Chahl.
They captured images of the Milky Way both when the vehicle was stationary and when it was in motion.vision
