Bugs Eyes Exploring Mars
In follow up to a story a couple months back on Flying Insects on Mars, there's a Reuters wire discussing the inclusion of dragon-fly like eyes to the model. Additionally, the navigation is improved to take into account flying conditions on another planet (magnetic field, lack of GPS). You can find the article right here: Bug Eyes to Give Man Sight on Mars. It seems this biomimetics business is really starting to take off! |

Mars Challenges
And another article over on the EE Times, discussing the challenges of the Martian landscape for rovers. Flying artificial insects also have problems, including low density in the air, and the lack of oxygen for combustion engine. |
