A group of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology researchers built the ElectroChemical Eye, known as EC-Eye, to resemble the size and shape of a biological eye, but with much more potential.
“In the future, we can use this for better vision prostheses and humanoid robotics,” engineer and materials scientist Zhiyong Fan, who co-authored the paper, told Science News.
The robotic eye can register changes in lighting a bit faster than human eyes and it can see dim light about as well as human eyes, according to Science News.
