Bio-Inspired Sensing

Offered By: Hackaday via YouTube

Course Description

Overview

Explore bio-inspired sensing in this 38-minute conference talk from the 2016 Hackaday SuperConference. Delve into the intricacies of human eye functionality, focusing on how rods and cones facilitate edge detection and noise rejection. Discover how applying biological sensing principles to robotics can lead to significant advancements in the field. Learn about the retina's structure and function, optical flow, filter banks, and hidden Markov models. Examine reflexes, central pattern generators, and different types of gates in biological systems. Investigate the potential applications of these concepts in robotics and chemo sensing. Gain insights from educator and engineer Dr. Christal Gordon as she bridges the gap between biology and technology in this informative presentation.
