Recent Advances in Transistor-Based Bionic Perceptual Devices for Artificial Sensory Systems

The sensory nervous system serves as the window for human beings to perceive the outside world by converting external stimuli into distinctive spiking trains. The sensory neurons in this system can process multimodal sensory signals with extremely low power consumption. Therefore, new-concept device...

description The sensory nervous system serves as the window for human beings to perceive the outside world by converting external stimuli into distinctive spiking trains. The sensory neurons in this system can process multimodal sensory signals with extremely low power consumption. Therefore, new-concept devices inspired by the sensory neuron are promising candidates to address energy issues in nowadays’ robotics, prosthetics and even computing systems. Recent years have witnessed rapid development in transistor-based bionic perceptual devices, and it is urgent to summarize the research and development of these devices. In this review, the latest progress of transistor-based bionic perceptual devices for artificial sense is reviewed and summarized in five aspects, i.e., vision, touch, hearing, smell, and pain. Finally, the opportunities and challenges related to these areas are also discussed. It would have bright prospects in the fields of artificial intelligence, prosthetics, brain-computer interface, robotics, and medical testing.
