nature likes to solve things in the most simple way possible. it finds those solutions that stop you from having to do a lot of computation that you didn't need to do. one of the ways it does that is and how it perceives the world. so, every animal that we know of that uses vision to navigate works out the motion of the world around it. we call it optical flow. and that is exactly how our technology works. and the company claims that basing algorithms on insect brains could be a more efficient way of creating ai. importantly, it would also be a more affordable method for lower—cost robotic applications and that is the market that opteran is targeting. the current approach to ai is fundamentally flawed because it is really based on a caricature of how real brains work. it is kind of a tiny piece of the puzzle that has just been scaled up and applied to lots of different data with lots of computing power. but that means
