Australian engineers have developed a neuromorphic chip that mimics human vision.
It detects movement, stores memories, and processes information without an external computer.
The chip uses molybdenum disulfide (MoS) to capture light and process it into electrical signals, similar to neurons.
Key features include:
Autonomous operation for instant visual processing.
Edge detection, requiring less data and energy.
Memory storage of detected changes.
Operation in the visible spectrum, surpassing previous UV-based versions.
This chip can detect changes in motion and create memories without extensive data or energy use.
It offers faster response times for applications like autonomous vehicles and robotics.
The technology still requires scaling up and refining manufacturing processes for practical use.
