Neuromorphic Systems For Industrial Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The field of neuromorphic engineering is a relatively new one. In this paper we introduce the basic concepts underlying neuromorphic engineering and point out how this type of research could be exploited for industrial applications. We describe some of the circuits commonly used in neuromorphic analog VLSI chips and present examples of neuromorphic systems, containing vision chips for extracting relevant features of the scene, such as edges or velocity vectors.

Neuromorphic Vision Chips: intelligent sensors for industrial applications
In the past years researchers at the California Institute of Technology (and in few other research institutions worldwide) have been concentrating their efforts on the design and implementation of analog VLSI neuromorphic systems. Today this emerging technology seems to be mature enough for use in industrial applications. In this paper we give an overview of some of the neuromorphic vision circ...
متن کاملToward a neuromorphic microphone
Neuromorphic systems are used in variety of circumstances: as parts of sensory systems, for modeling parts of neural systems and for analog signal processing. In the sensory processing domain, neuromorphic systems can be considered in three parts: pre-transduction processing, transduction itself, and post-transduction processing. Neuromorphic systems include transducers for light, odors, and to...

متن کاملNeuromorphic vision sensors and preprocessors in system applications
A partial review of neuromorphic vision sensors that are suitable for use in autonomous systems is presented. Interfaces are being developed to multiplex the high-dimensional output signals of arrays of such sensors and to communicate them in standard formats to off-chip devices for higher-level processing, actuation, storage and display. Alternatively, on-chip processing stages may be implemen...
