Professor Ye Zhou - Tactile sensing device

IAS Visiting Fellow Professor Ye Zhou delivers a seminar on their research - The imitation of tactile perception, synaptic processing, and neural coding functions in human sensory nerves has become an important development direction in neuromorphic electronic technology. The tactile perception system can be applied in multiple aspects and has enormous application prospects in fields such as human-computer interaction systems, intelligent robots, and mobile healthcare. Developing neuromorphic devices with tactile perception and processing capabilities, simulating the functions of biological brains and perception systems at the hardware level, is expected to achieve compatibility with biological neural signals, and build efficient intelligent perception systems and human-computer interaction interfaces. This report will introduce our research work in the field of tactile biomimetic perception, exploring the key influencing factors and structure-activity relationships in the development process of tactile sensing devices from three aspects: material preparation, structural design, and device development.
