Robo-vision refers to the visual perception of robots. Robots can be equipped to directly receive video, but interpretation is difficult. In fiction it is usually seen that robots are equipped with non-visual spectrum capabilities to allow them to more easily distinguish between living creatures and inanimate objects, as well as for better dramatic effect for the viewer. They are usually equipped with HUDs that provide them with targeting and information. Certain organic creatures, such as the Predator from the eponymous series of films, possess similar abilities.

An example of robo-vision. Additional information, such as battery charge, and visual artefacts such as scan lines are laid over first-person vision. By ChocolateKeys.

Robo-vision refers to the portrayal of a fembot's visual perception of her environment.

Presentation

In fiction, the view from a robot or cyborg's eyes is often portrayed as markedly different from that of human beings. This may include a different range of perception on the electromagnetic spectrum, lower of higher quality of perception, or additional information being superimposed to their point of view.

Visually, the point of view of a robot may be shown by altering colors, applying distortion, or superimposing additional information.

In fiction

  • Westworld's robots see in the infrared spectrum, accomplished using an at the time revolutionary computer effect.
  • Terminators have been portrayed with similar HUDs to assist in the recognition, acquisition and destruction of their targets. The T-800, the most primitive unit to be shown at any length to the viewer, can see only in infrared. Later units can also see in green, presumably as a form of night vision. Cameron can perceive those spectrums in addition to the normal spectrum visible to humans.
  • The Marionettes of the Saber Marionette series are shown to use integrated HUDs. In one scene, Lime utilizes an analyzer system which highlights a target's structural weak points, which she uses to disable Panther's arm.
