Sydney Nano develops neuromorphic sensor for RAAF – Australian Defence Magazine
The Jericho Smart Sensing Lab at the University of Sydney Nano Institute has developed a prototype sensor system for the RAAF that mimics the brain’s neural architecture….
Dubbed MANTIS, the system under development integrates a traditional camera with a visual system inspired by neurobiological architectures. This neuromorphic sensor works at ‘incredibly high’ speeds, which will allow aircraft, ships and vehicles to identify fast moving objects, such as drones.
Combining traditional visual input with the neuromorphic sensor is inspired by nature. The praying mantis has five eyes three simple eyes and two composite. Our prototype works a bit like this, too, Professor…
