We inspired and learned from nature to develop the meta-lens array for intelligent imaging and sensing. The design, fabrication, and applications of the intelligent meta-lens array are reported in this talk. We developed the meta-lens array based light field imaging system for digital focusing, full-color imaging, depth sensing for static and dynamic objects, and 1D to 3D edge detection. This research shows the importance of optical meta-devices for next-generation optical imaging and sensing. We believe this opens up an avenue for future applications of optical devices in micro-robotic vision, unmanned-vehicle sensing, virtual and augmented reality, drones, and miniature personal-security systems.
