Information processing at its limits: from the dimmest habitats to the smallest sizes

确保在大小和环境光线的限制下进行最佳信息处理对技术系统来说是一项挑战，但动物们已经优雅地解决了这一问题。导航的挑战对于各种体型的动物来说都是相似的，无论是白天还是黑夜。该项目旨在进行比较分析，以确定大小和光线对视觉导航信息处理能力的影响。该项目的结果将揭示在最昏暗的栖息地和最小的面积上航行所需的行为和生理适应以及相关成本。确定这种用于稳健导航的最佳生物解决方案将与图像处理、计算机视觉和机器人学相关。

Ensuring optimal information processing at the limits of size and ambient light is a challenge for technical systems, but has been elegantly solved by animals. The challenge of navigation is similar for animals of all sizes and in both day and night. This project aims to conduct a comparative analysis to identify the consequence of size and light on the information processing capacities for visual navigation. Outcomes of this project will reveal the behavioural and physiological adaptations needed and the costs associated with navigating in the dimmest of habitats and at the smallest of sizes. Identifying such optimal biological solutions for robust navigation will be relevant for image processing, computer vision and robotics.
