Micro Biomimetic Eyeball for Humanoid Robots: A Visual System with High-Density Functional Integration Based on an Origami Mechanism. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)A biomimetic eyeball system (BES) based on a 3‐DOF miniature origami mechanism, which addresses the inherent issues of large size and weight in traditional electromechanical BESs is presented. Moreover, it maintains a level of visual functionality comparable to that of the human eye, including capabilities such as rapid scanning, target recognition ...
