GPS fails indoors, lacks ability locate goals
(survivors, structure damage, etc.)
Stereo vision provides high-quality 3D
information but requires additional mass,
calibration
Images taken a different times from a single,
moving camera provide a stereo effect
Uses gyro, accelerometer, vision to estimate
frame-to-frame movement

Schematic of a SiC nanowire field-effect transistor used as a biosensor.
• The inset shows the surface of the nanowire functionalized with mercaptopropyl
trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) as an example.
• The target molecule detected by the device could be a cancer cell.
