Neuromorphic chip refers to an unconventional computing architecture that is modelled on biological brains. It is ideally suited for processing sensory data for intelligence computing, decision-making or context cognition. Despite rapid development, conventional artificial synapses exhibit poor connection flexibility and require separate data acquisition circuitry, resulting in limited functionalities and significant hardware redundancy. Here we report a novel light-stimulated artificial synapse based on a graphene-nanotube hybrid phototransistor that can directly convert optical stimuli into a neural image for further neuronal analysis. Our optically-driven synapses involve multiple steps of plasticity mechanisms and importantly exhibit flexible tuning of both short- and long-term plasticity. Furthermore, our neuromorphic phototransistor can take multiple pre-synaptic light stimuli via wavelength-division multiplexing and allows advanced optical processing through charge-trap-mediated optical coupling. The capability of complex neuromorphic functionalities in a simple silicon-compatible device paves the way for novel neuromorphic computing architectures involving photonics.

Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing which consist neurons and synapses, with an ability to perform complex information processing has unfolded a new paradigm of computing to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck. Electronic synaptic memristor devices
which can compete with the biological synapses are indeed significant for neuromorphic computing. In this work, we demonstrate our efforts to develop and realize the graphene oxide (GO) based memristor device as a synaptic device, which mimic as a biological synapse. Indeed, this device exhibits the essential synaptic learning behavior including analog memory characteristics, potentiation and depression. Furthermore, spike-timing-dependent-plasticity learning rule is mimicked by engineering the pre- and post-synaptic spikes. In addition, non-volatile properties such as endurance, retentivity, multilevel switching of the device are explored. These results suggest that Ag/GO/FTO memristor device would indeed be a potential candidate for future neuromorphic computing applications.

Optical and optoelectronic approaches of performing matrix-vector multiplication (MVM) operations have shown the great promise of accelerating machine learning (ML) algorithms with unprecedented performance. The incorporation of nanomaterials into th
e system can further improve the performance thanks to their extraordinary properties, but the non-uniformity and variation of nanostructures in the macroscopic scale pose severe limitations for large-scale hardware deployment. Here, we report a new optoelectronic architecture consisting of spatial light modulators and photodetector arrays made from graphene to perform MVM. The ultrahigh carrier mobility of graphene, nearly-zero-power-consumption electro-optic control, and extreme parallelism suggest ultrahigh data throughput and ultralow-power consumption. Moreover, we develop a methodology of performing accurate calculations with imperfect components, laying the foundation for scalable systems. Finally, we perform a few representative ML algorithms, including singular value decomposition, support vector machine, and deep neural networks, to show the versatility and generality of our platform.
The development of memristive device technologies has reached a level of maturity to enable the design of complex and large-scale hybrid memristive-CMOS neural processing systems. These systems offer promising solutions for implementing novel in-memo
ry computing architectures for machine learning and data analysis problems. We argue that they are also ideal building blocks for the integration in neuromorphic electronic circuits suitable for ultra-low power brain-inspired sensory processing systems, therefore leading to the innovative solutions for always-on edge-computing and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Here we present a recipe for creating such systems based on design strategies and computing principles inspired by those used in mammalian brains. We enumerate the specifications and properties of memristive devices required to support always-on learning in neuromorphic computing systems and to minimize their power consumption. Finally, we discuss in what cases such neuromorphic systems can complement conventional processing ones and highlight the importance of exploiting the physics of both the memristive devices and of the CMOS circuits interfaced to them.
Neuromorphic computing takes inspiration from the brain to create energy efficient hardware for information processing, capable of highly sophisticated tasks. In this article, we make the case that building this new hardware necessitates reinventing
electronics. We show that research in physics and material science will be key to create artificial nano-neurons and synapses, to connect them together in huge numbers, to organize them in complex systems, and to compute with them efficiently. We describe how some researchers choose to take inspiration from artificial intelligence to move forward in this direction, whereas others prefer taking inspiration from neuroscience, and we highlight recent striking results obtained with these two approaches. Finally, we discuss the challenges and perspectives in neuromorphic physics, which include developing the algorithms and the hardware hand in hand, making significant advances with small toy systems, as well as building large scale networks.
Despite neuromorphic engineering promises the deployment of low latency, adaptive and low power systems that can lead to the design of truly autonomous artificial agents, the development of a fully neuromorphic artificial agent is still missing. Whil
e neuromorphic sensing and perception, as well as decision-making systems, are now mature, the control and actuation part is lagging behind. In this paper, we present a closed-loop motor controller implemented on mixed-signal analog-digital neuromorphic hardware using a spiking neural network. The network performs a proportional control action by encoding target, feedback, and error signals using a spiking relational network. It continuously calculates the error through a connectivity pattern, which relates the three variables by means of feed-forward connections. Recurrent connections within each population are used to speed up the convergence, decrease the effect of mismatch and improve selectivity. The neuromorphic motor controller is interfaced with the iCub robot simulator. We tested our spiking P controller in a single joint control task, specifically for the robot head yaw. The spiking controller sends the target positions, reads the motor state from its encoder, and sends back the motor commands to the joint. The performance of the spiking controller is tested in a step response experiment and in a target pursuit task. In this work, we optimize the network structure to make it more robust to noisy inputs and device mismatch, which leads to better control performances.
