Australian engineers create a device that mimics the human eye and brain. Efficient, fast, and capable of processing visual data in real time without external computers the neuromorphic chip developed at RMIT University. This microscopic device does more than just see: it interprets and memorizes, just like our brains do. Without relying on external computers, it detects movements, creates visual memories and processes information with an energy efficiency.
\nAt the heart of this chip revolution is the molybdenum disulfide, a material so thin that it is almost two-dimensional, yet capable of behaving like the neurons in our brain.
\nInstead of capturing and analyzing every single frame the neuromorphic chip detects only significant changes in the surrounding environment, a process known as \u201cedge detection.\u201d
\nAs Professor explains Sumeet Walia, director of the Centre for Optoelectronic Materials and Sensors at RMIT:
\n\u201cThis test device mimics the human eye\u2019s ability to capture light and the brain\u2019s ability to process visual information.\u201d
\nIn autonomous vehicles, vision systems with neuromorphic chips could detect changes in the scene almost instantly, enabling immediate reactions that could save lives.
\nFor advanced robotics, this technology offers the possibility of more natural interactions. \u201cFor robots that work closely with humans in manufacturing or as personal assistants, neuromorphic technology could enable more natural interactions,\u201d says the Professor Akram Al-Hourani, deputy director of COMAS and co-author of the study published in Advanced Materials Technologies.
\nThe team is now scaling up the single-pixel prototype to a larger array of MoS\u2082-based devices As reported Australian Manufacturing, the doctoral student Thiha Aung, first author of the study, demonstrated that atomically thin MoS\u2082 can precisely replicate the behavior of an \u201cintegrate-and-fire\u201d neuron, a fundamental element of spiking neural networks.<\/p>\n
