Revolutionary biomimetic olfactory chips to enable advanced gas sensing and odor detection

A research team has addressed the long-standing challenge of creating artificial olfactory sensors with arrays of diverse high-performance gas sensors. Their newly developed biomimetic olfactory chips (BOC) are able to integrate nanotube sensor arrays on nanoporous substrates with up to 10,000 individually addressable gas sensors per chip, a configuration that is similar to how olfaction works for humans and other animals.

AI model mimics brain’s olfactory system to process noisy sensory data efficiently

Human brains are great at sorting through a barrage of sensory information—like discerning the smell of tomato sauce upon stepping into a busy restaurant—but artificial intelligence systems are challenged by large bursts of unregulated input.

Research team designs biomimetic vision system based on praying mantis eyes

Self-driving cars occasionally crash because their visual systems can't always process static or slow-moving objects in 3D space. In that regard, they're like the monocular vision of many insects, whose compound eyes provide great motion-tracking and a wide field of view but poor depth perception.

Engineers build LEGO-like artificial intelligence chip

Imagine a more sustainable future, where cellphones, smartwatches, and other wearable devices don’t have to be shelved or discarded for a newer model. Instead, they could be upgraded with the latest sensors and processors that would snap onto a device’s internal chip — like LEGO bricks incorporated into an existing…
