Reports on an experiment in evolving the morphology of annartificial compound eye with 16 light sensors on a robot. A specialnrobot was designed and constructed that is able to autonomously modifynthe angular positions of the individual light sensors within thencompound eye. The task of the robot was to employ motion parallax tonestimate a critical distance to obstacles. This task was achieved bynadapting the morphology of the compound eye by an evolutionary algorithmnwhile using a fixed neural network to control the robot
