IIT Guwahati Develops Energy-Efficient Brain-Inspired Device for Visual Processing
Researchers at IIT Guwahati, in collaboration with IIT Kharagpur, have developed an ultrathin, brain-inspired electronic device that integrates light sensing, memory, and processing. This device consumes 500 times less energy than conventional MXene-based systems and achieved 90% accuracy in facial recognition and 85% in traffic scene segmentation during laboratory tests. The innovation aims to improve efficiency in AI, robotic vision, and smart computing by mimicking the human brain's ability to process visual information without repeated data transfer between components.
