Human somatosensory systems based on sensor-memory-integrated technology

Abstract

As a representative artificial neural network (ANN) for incorporating sensing functions and memory functions into one system to achieve highly miniaturized and highly integrated devices or systems, artificial sensory systems (ASSs) can have a far-reaching influence on precise instrumentation, sensing, and automation engineering. Artificial sensory systems have enjoyed considerable progress in recent years, from low degree integrations to highly advanced sophisticated integrations, from single-modal perceptions to multimode-fused perceptions. However, there are issues around the large hardware area, power consumption, and communication bandwidth needed during the processes where multimodal sensing signals are converted into a digital mode before they can be processed by a digital processor. Therefore, deepening the research into sensory integration is of great importance. In this review, we briefly introduce fundamental knowledge about the memristor mechanism, describe some representative human somatosensory systems, and elucidate the relationship between the properties of memristor devices and the structure. The electronic character of the sensors, future prospects, and key challenges surrounding sensor-memory integrated technologies are also discussed.
