This project aims to understand how hoverflies and honey bees, with tiny brains and sensory systems, excel at making fast and accurate decisions while on the fly in a complex world. The project will combine brain recordings with flight analyses and computational modelling to generate new knowledge on how animals may utilize movements to simplify information sampling. Expected outcomes are a novel, comprehensive understanding of how animal movements could enhance decision speed and accuracy. This should provide substantial benefits for neuroscience, and for enhancing performance of autonomous robotic systems operating in challenging environments, such as disaster relief, mining and remote exploration.

该项目旨在了解具有微小大脑和感觉系统的食蚜蝇和蜜蜂如何在复杂世界中快速准确地做出决策。该项目将把联合收割机的大脑记录与飞行分析和计算建模结合起来，以产生关于动物如何利用运动来简化信息采样的新知识。预期成果是对动物运动如何提高决策速度和准确性的新颖，全面的理解。这将为神经科学提供实质性的好处，并提高在具有挑战性的环境中运行的自主机器人系统的性能，如救灾，采矿和远程勘探。
