06.14 2024NKU Team Develops Neuromorphic Artificial Antenna
The antennae are the primary sensory organs of insects, and can accurately perceive slight vibrations, magnetic field orientation, direction of gravity and chemical stimuli. Their perceptual sensitivity is comparable to that of human skin, and even outshine humans when it comes to some special functions. However, compared with mimicking the sensory organs of mammals, an urgent pending problem in the field of bionic electronics is how to simulate insect antenna – a highly sensitive and multi-func
