By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Robotics is the subjec t of a report. According to news reporting out of Freiburg, Germany, by NewsRx e ditors, research stated, "Insects have important roles globally in ecology, econ omy, and health, yet our understanding of their behavior remains limited. Bees, for example, use vision and a tiny brain to find flowers and return home, but un derstanding how they perform these impressive tasks has been hampered by limitat ions in recording technology." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Albert-Ludwigs-Univ ersity Freiburg, "Here, we present Fast Lock-On (FLO) tracking. This method move s an image sensor to remain focused on a retroreflective marker affixed to an in sect. Using paraxial infrared illumination, simple image processing can localize the sensor location of the insect in a few milliseconds. When coupled with a fe edback system to steer a high-magnification optical system to remain focused on the insect, a high-spatiotemporal resolution trajectory can be gathered over a l arge region. As the basis for several robotic systems, we show that FLO is a ver satile idea that can be used in combination with other components. We demonstrat e that the optical path can be split and used for recording high-speed video. Fu rthermore, by flying an FLO system on a quadcopter drone, we track a flying hone y bee and anticipate tracking insects in the wild over kilometer scales."
