We propose a road-map to experimental implementation of cytoskeleton-based computing devices. An overall concept is described in the following. Collision-based cytoskeleton computers implement logical gates via interactions between…
Stochastic computing (SC) is an emerging computing technique which offers higher computational density, and lower power over binary-encoded (BE) computation. Unlike BE computation, SC encodes values as probabilistic bitstreams which makes…

The automated wafer inspection and quality control is a complex and time-consuming task, which can speed up using neuromorphic memristive architectures, as a separate inspection device or integrating directly into sensors. This paper…
The memristor can be used as non volatile memory (NVM) and for emulating neuron behavior. It has the ability to switch between low resistance $R_{on}$ and high resistance values $R_{off}$, and exhibit the synaptic dynamic behaviour such as…
