A new prototype webcam looks like a realistic human eye, complete with its own eyebrow – and it blinks, too. If that's not enough, it's also capable of looking around and acting out on its own accord.

Computer scientists at the University of Maryland have unveiled a new camera inspired by the mechanics of the human eye. It is designed to enhance how robots perceive and respond to their surroundings ...

A widely popular idea in psychology and evolutionary science suggests that the distinctive look of the human eye—particularly the white area surrounding the iris—evolved to help us communicate ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

In humanoid robots, artificial eyes are often referred to as dolls’ eyes because they are made from glass or acrylic. This is a problem as their pupils don’t respond like living human eyes do. Pupils ...

Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research.

In humanoid robots, artificial eyes are often referred to as dolls' eyes because they are made from glass or acrylic. This is a problem as their pupils don't respond like living human eyes do. Pupils ...

The human eye is an incredibly complex piece of equipment, so it’s no wonder that we’ve had a hard time reverse engineering it. Now, researchers have unveiled the world’s first 3D artificial eye, ...

A human-like artificial eye capable of being powered by sunlight could eventually be used as a visual aid for people who cannot see. Zhiyong Fan at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ...

Scientists say they’ve made a bionic human-compatible eyeball that has nearly 50 times more “sensing” nanowires than there are optic cells in the human retina. The researchers suggest the eventual ...
