How a brain the size of a sesame seed could change AI forever

When a honey bee leaves its hive for the first time in its life, it will typically perform one to five flights around the surrounding area to get its bearings, then get straight to work. "Their learning phase is negligible, or close to negligible," explains Macquarie University's School of Biology director and bee-obsessive Dr Andrew Barron. Compare this with a drone, armed with computer vision and deep learning. Last year, researchers'taught' one to fly around the hallways of their lab facility. Just learning how to not crash into things took the UAV 40 hours of flying time and 11,500 collisions.
