It is fascinating how our body receives an immense amount of sensory information through numerous receptors distributed throughout the body and efficiently integrates it to make decisions for daily activities, while maintaining extremely low energy consumption and cognitive load. This bioinspired sensory information processing paradigm offers unparalleled advantages over traditional von Neumann architectures due to its exceptional energy efficiency, fault tolerance, and adaptability. While previous efforts in this area have mainly focused on the development of biomimetic sensors, it is equally important to create a computing architecture that can process sensory data locally before transmitting it to a higher level. The strategy of offloading computation at the edge can significantly reduce data latency, saving transmission bandwidth and relieving the burden of computation at a higher level, just like the way our peripheral nervous system complements the central nervous system.

Abstract
It is fascinating how our body receives an immense amount of sensory information through numerous receptors distributed throughout the body and efficiently integrates it to make decisions for daily activities, while maintaining extremely low energy consumption and cognitive load. This bioinspired sensory information processing paradigm offers unparalleled advantages over traditional von Neumann architectures due to its exceptional energy efficiency, fault tolerance, and adaptability. While previous efforts in this area have mainly focused on the development of biomimetic sensors, it is equally important to create a computing architecture that can process sensory data locally before transmitting it to a higher level. The strategy of offloading computation at the edge can significantly reduce data latency, saving transmission bandwidth and relieving the burden of computation at a higher level, just like the way our peripheral nervous system complements the central nervous system.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
