These might be the most stylish bugs around. Scientists made praying mantises wear tiny 3D glasses to test if the insects have strereopsis, or 3D vision. While these insects won't be watching the new ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3D vision - providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. Most knowledge about 3D vision has come from vertebrates, however, a team from ...

Giving whole new meaning to the term "bug eyed," researchers glue tiny glasses to the weird insect that sees and hunts in 3D in hopes of understanding 3D vision better. Eric Mack has been a CNET ...

Digital insects A new colour 3D modelling system developed in Australia is digitising even the tiniest insects to help researchers study them better. The models could also have applications in ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

Some brilliant minds in Australia have a new 3D modeling system that can model insects as small as 3 mm and bring their characteristics into a scale that scientists can study them better. These large ...

A new, simple scanning system can create precise 3D models of insects in color. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The system uses off ...

The key to solving future food supply problems might be 3D Printing! A team of researchers at the Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) aims to provide a solution to address food supply ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3-D vision, providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. 3D vision in mantises was originally shown in the 1980s but this work used ...
