Abstract: This presentation covers a novel micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) hardware for edge AI computing applications. Inspired by the neural system in insects, this computing hardware performs localized sensing and computing at the sensing physical layer. Thus, it will require very little power, eliminating the need for a microprocessor and energy-hungry circuitry for conditioning and reading the output of the traditional sensor.
