A team at Lincoln Laboratory is developing collision avoidance technology for autonomous vehicles based on the vision systems of flying insects . The team working on the project , known as Ultracept , said current collision avoidance solutions have too many limitations and project leader Wang Yue said naturally evolved biological systems could be the solution . He has already helped develop autonomous navigation systems for robots based on a locust ’s vision . A global research project led by a team at the University of Lincoln is taking its inspiration from swarming insects to develop collision avoidance technology for driverless cars. The team said the technology can also be used in robotics , video games and medicine .
