Self-Powered Artificial Synapse Brings Human-Like Color Vision to Edge Devices

Self-powered artificial synapse mimics human color vision

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a self-powered artificial synapse that distinguishes colors with high resolution across the visible spectrum, approaching human eye capabilities. The device, which integrates dye-sensitized solar cells, generates its electricity and can perform complex logi…

Self-powered artificial synapse brings human-like color vision to edge devices

As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies.

Self-Powered Synapse Brings Human-Like Vision to AI Devices

Researchers have developed a self-powered artificial synapse capable of color recognition with near-human precision. Unlike traditional systems that demand external energy and massive data processing, this device mimics biological vision and generates its own electricity using solar cells.

Self-Powered Artificial Synapse Achieves Near-Human Colour Vision For Low-Energy AI

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a self-powered artificial synapse utilising dye-sensitized solar cells to achieve near-human colour discrimination (10nm resolution) and bipolar responses, demonstrating 82% accuracy in classifying human movements within a physical reservoir computing framework and offering potential for low-power machine vision in applications such as autonomous vehicles and wearable biometric sensors.
