Forum in Shanghai propels application of bionic eye technology

Experts and industry players gathered in Shanghai for a seminar on the bionic vision industry and investment on April 12 to discuss and propel the development and industrial application of bionic eye technology, a field that holds immense promise for revolutionizing robotics and artificial intelligence.

The seminar, which took place at the Shanghai Science Hall, was a brainchild of Professor Zhang Xiaolin, a leading expert in China's bionic vision arena and the director of the Institute of Bionic Vision and Brain-Inspired Intelligence at Shanghai University.

The event attracted luminaries from top research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University and Tsinghua University, alongside industry giants like Xiaomi, iFlytek and BOE.

During the seminar, Professor Zhang underscored the significance of bionic vision technology, which emulates biological visual systems to enhance robotic perception. By mimicking nature, bionic vision technology overcomes critical limitations of traditional machine vision, offering improved depth perception and enhanced adaptability in dynamic environments. This advancement equips robots with superior perceptual abilities, empowering them with robust information acquisition and decision-making capabilities. As a result, robots can swiftly track targets, accurately position themselves in complex environments, and exhibit real-time learning and adaptive behavior.
