Pooled development fund Strategic Elements (ASX: SOR) has revealed proof-of-concept work that highlights its printable neuromorphic technology’s potential for data processing and self-learning in soft robotics and other signal processing applications.
The printable neuromorphic hardware is being developed from the company’s Nanocube Memory Ink technology in the Nanoionics laboratory at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
According to Strategic Elements, early stage results show that in the case of computer vision applications, the technology uses less power to operate than the human brain and is able to use multiple resistance states with the potential capacity to process multiple points of data.
Strategic Elements said these features are ideally suited to robotics and computer vision applications.
