ABSTRACT

To compensate for its eye’s inability to point at a threat, a fly’s eye consists of multiple optical sensors positioned at angular intervals, which give the fly the wide-area visual coverage it needs to detect and avoid threats around it. Each sensor is coupled with a detector and connected by a separate neuron interface to the brain (processor). Figure 1.1 depicts a picture and structure of a fly’s eye, along with its functioning. In this structure, there are multiple optical sensors positioned at angular intervals. These sensors capture optical signals and produce corresponding analog signals.
