A bioinspired optoelectronically engineered artificial neurorobotics device with sensorimotor functionalities

Abstract

The internet of things technologies relies on the development of sensorimotor systems. Here, Karbalaei Akbari and Zhuiykov show a bioinspired sensorimotor system based on an integration of an artificial optical synapse and a liquid metal actuator, which mimics the expansion and contraction of biological muscles.
