A light-Controlled Flexible Lens may Give Soft Machines Vision

Healthcare, Medicine /

Inspired by the human eye, our biomedical engineering team at Georgia Tech has developed an adaptive lens made from soft, light-sensitive materials. Traditional adjustable cameras rely on bulky, rigid lenses and a pupil to control focus and brightness. In contrast, the human eye achieves this through soft, flexible tissues in a compact design. A Soft,
