 the octopus's eyes have joined the ever growing list of biomimetics. ny times reports on research being done by a U of Buffalo professor on a silicon chip called the o-retina chip for electronic vision systems. the octopus has simple and very effective eyes that are suitable for robot vision because it sees horizontally and vertically. it also uses brightness, size, orientation, and shape to distinguish objects. most importantly, it has the ability to see polarized light.
