Eye of a fly: Researchers reveal secrets of fly vision for rapid flight control – Phys.org
By examining how fruit flies use eye movements to enhance flight control with a staggeringly fast reaction speed—about 30 times faster than the blink of an eye—Penn State researchers have detailed a framework to mimic this ability in robotics.

The researchers described the motions of fruit flies tethered in a virtual reality flight simulator constructed with LED lights and recorded using high speed cameras, in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
