The eyes have it GIVING sight to robots is an important goal, but a tricky one. Most attempts use cameras that produce the sort of image a human being is used to, and then apply computing power to simplify it (for example, by searching for the edges of objects) in ways that tell a robot what it needs to know (ie, do not blunder into that edge).
