Inspired by the human visual system, researchers at Aalto University have developed a new neuromorphic vision technology that integrates sensing, memory, and processing in a single device that can detect motion and predict trajectories.<\/p>\n<p>At the core of their technology is an array of photomemristors, <a href=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/tags\/electrical+devices\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">electrical devices<\/a> that produce <a href=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/tags\/electric+current\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">electric current<\/a> in response to light. The current doesn\u2019t immediately stop when the light is switched off. Instead, it decays gradually, which means that photomemristors can effectively \u201cremember\u201d whether they\u2019ve been exposed to light recently. As a result, a sensor made from an array of photomemristors doesn\u2019t just record instantaneous information about a scene, like a camera does, but also includes a dynamic memory of the preceding instants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new bio-inspired sensor can recognize moving objects in a single frame from a video and successfully predict where they will move to.
