In-Materio Reservoir Devices Made of Random Network of Nanomaterials for Application to Smart Sensors and Autonomous Robotics

Reservoir computing is expected as low-power AI software or hardware systems because learning is performed only in one layer of the artificial neural network with a middle layer made of a random network with non-linear nodes. Inmaterio reservoir device is a kind of physical reservoir in which the middle layer is made of a random network of materials. Here, we would like to introduce how in-materio reservoir works and can be applied to smart sensors and autonomous robotics.
