Neuromorphic skin sensor developed by Murata and Kyushu University

Murata Manufacturing and Kyushu University have developed a novel neuromorphic skin sensor that eliminates the need for analog circuits and analog-to-digital converters. This sensor can process 1,024 touch points in just 23 microseconds and operates with extremely low power consumption, drawing only 12 microwatts. The technology promises to enable long-lasting, power-efficient tactile sensing for robotics without requiring heavy edge computing. AI

IMPACT This low-power, high-speed tactile sensing technology could significantly enhance robotic capabilities and reduce the need for onboard processing power.
