Vision Tape - a new class of flexible vision sensor

In this paper, the group of Prof. Dario Floreano (Laboratory of Intelligent Systems) introduce Vision Tape (VT), a novel class of flexible compound-eye-like linear vision sensor dedicated to motion extraction and proximity estimation. This novel sensor possesses intrinsic mechanical flexibility that provides wide-range adaptive shape, allowing adjustable field of view as well as integration with numerous substrates and curvatures.
