American scientists are building a $12 million ‘digital brain’ for drones based on how insects make decisions with limited information
- Image AI generatedA $12 million research project at Penn State is trying to give drones a new way of making decisions, drawing inspiration from the small brains of insects and other animals.
- Funded by the US Army’s Army Research Laboratory, the project aims to develop an onboard sensing system that can pick out useful information without sending large amounts of data to external computers.
- The team, led by Saptarshi Das, is studying how animals such as locusts and owls filter sensory information despite having tiny brains.
