Artificial Intelligence Meets Flexible Sensors: Emerging Smart Flexible Sensing Systems Driven by Machine Learning and Artificial Synapses

Abstract

Highlights The latest progress of emerging smart flexible sensing systems driven by brain-inspired artificial intelligence (AI) from both the algorithm (machine learning) and the framework (artificial synapses) level is reviewed. New enabling features such as powerful data analysis and intelligent decision-making resulting from the fusion of AI technology with flexible sensors are discussed. Promising application prospects of AI-driven smart flexible sensing systems such as more intelligent monitoring for human activities, more humanoid feeling by artificial sensory organs, and more autonomous action of soft robotics are demonstrated.
