Breakthrough optical sensor mimics human eye, a key step toward better AI

Science Daily  December 8, 2020
Neuromorphic processors are still designed for traditional computer architectures. Researchers at the State University of Oregon have shown that a simple photosensitive capacitor will inherently reproduce certain aspects of biological retinas. They found that capacitors based on metal halide perovskites will output a brief voltage spike in response to changes in incident light intensity but output zero voltage under constant illumination. The new sensor could be a perfect match for the neuromorphic computers that will power the next generation of artificial intelligence in applications like self-driving cars, robotics, and advanced image recognition…read more.
