This $400,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is aimed at developing an innovative artificial compound eye system capable of advanced in-situ object tracking and depth perception. The project will integrate a novel photodiode-based hardware design, inspired by the hemispherical structure of arthropod eyes, to enable a wide field of view and rapid image acquisition. To efficiently process the high-dimensional visual data, the project will employ a federated split learning framework that distributes computational tasks between the sensor and a centralized processing unit. This integrated hardware and software approach is expected to advance scientific understanding of bio-inspired imaging and provide practical solutions for applications in areas like robotics and autonomous driving. The award was made to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia, which has extensive experience managing complex federally-funded projects and collaborating with government agencies, other academic institutions, and industry partners. The project is expected to run from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2027.
