Penn State researchers have developed the first artificial, multisensory integrated neuron.
A tactile sensor and a visual sensor can communicate directly with each other.
The neuron generates electrical spikes in a manner reminiscent of neurons processing information.
It's the equivalent of seeing an "on" light on the stove and feeling heat coming off of a burner.
An artificial multisensory neuron system could enhance sensor technology's efficiency, paving the way for more eco-friendly AI uses.
As a result, robots, drones and self-driving vehicles could navigate their environment more effectively while using less energy.
