Industrialists are to oversee a £2 million research programme
in British universities to develop machines that mimic human vision. Universities

programme will spend the next five years refining vision sensors to make
them reliable and cheap enough for use in factories. The industrialists,
potential buyers of the machinery, will suggest applications and oversee
trials.
