The ultimate goal of this research proposal is the creation of a micro-optomechanical intelligence. The proposal centers on the development and investigation of very large-scale integrated (VLSI) arrays of coupled M/NEMS devices as platforms for the experimental study of nonlinear dynamics of high-dimensional systems. The potential of VLSI M/NEMS arrays to function as advanced sensors will be demonstrated through the novel idea of a MEMS EYE, an electronics-free platform that combines imaging and pattern recognition functionality.
