Emerging AI Technologies Inspiring the Next Generation of E-Textiles

The smart textile and wearables sector is looking towards advancing technologies to meet both industry, consumer new emerging innovative application demands, within a fast paced industry. In parallel, inspiration based on the biological neural workings of human brain driving next generation Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI inspired hardware (neuromorphic computing) software modules mimicking processing capabilities properties networks nervous system are taking shape. needs actively look at such technologies, from their methods in order stimulate embedded intelligence advancements e-textile world. This rapidly gaining interest across varying industries (textile, medical, automotive, aerospace, military). It brings promise applications enabled by low size, weight power technologies. Such need for enhanced performing integrated circuits (IC’s) complex machine learning algorithms. How can inspire drive e-textiles be considered. paper will provide an insight into domain, before focusing specifically future vision direction around potential neuromorphic computing spiking network sector. We investigate core architectural elements artificial networks, (2D 3D structures) how neuroscience could impact change research developments
