Mexican scientists are intended to improve the three-dimensional sight of robots with the aid of the method, which resembles the behavior of bees during the search for food, reports New Scientist. These insects, after revealing the promising place, such as flower clearing, return to the beehive and dance special dance, giving to others to know about this. The sight of robots is based at the use of two cameras and the subsequent data analysis, which enters from them. If in the small accomodation to apparatus to make this is sufficiently simple, then sufficiently much time is expended on the analysis of complex picture. New system, however, uses the method, similar to bee. Virtual "intelligence officers" indicate to the machine the potentially interesting regions of the images, which can prove to be three-dimensional. Program randomly sends "bee- intelligence officers" into the different points of sequence. After any of the regions is recognized as that noteworthy, begins its complex analysis "by bee- collectors". Its intensity is determined first. During the experiment were used 8000 virtual "intelligence officers" even 32000 "collectors". Scientists hope that prior to the end of this year this system will already have an application in robotostroyenii and will help apparatuses more effectively to find way among the obstacles. In Russia similar methods use KB "Russian robots".
