A Flexible Artificial Sensory Nerve Enabled by Nanoparticle‐Assembled Synaptic Devices for Neuromorphic Tactile Recognition (Adv. Sci. 24/2022)

Neuromorphic Tactile Recognition In article number 2106124 by Wentao Xu and co‐workers, a flexible artificial sensory nerve that mimics the tactile sensing, neural coding, and synaptic processing functions of human sensory nerve is developed to achieve neuromorphic tactile recognition at device level without relying on algorithms or computing resources. A flexible synaptic transistor fabricated by nanoparticle self‐assembly technique enables this system to identify material hardness and recognize finger tapping patterns in real‐time and high‐accuracy manner towards robotics and smart interface applications.
