| Description: | ELEGANCE PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RADICALLY NEW, PRINTABLE AND LIGHT-OPERATED PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIZED FOR IOT EDGE-COMPUTING APPLICATIONS. THE PROJECT IMPLEMENTS AN ECO-SUSTAINABLE APPROACH AT COMPONENT AND PROCESSES LEVEL, WHERE ABUNDANT, RECYCLABLE ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS ARE EMPLOYED, TARGETING A ZERO ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT STRATEGY. THE PROCESSOR’S BUILDING BLOCK INCLUDES A HYBRID STACK OF AN OXIDE OPTOELECTRONIC MEMRISTOR WITH AN ELECTROCHROMIC LAYER ON TOP EXHIBITING A UNIQUE LIGHT-TRIGGERED PROCESSING-IN-MEMORY ENABLING SIMULTANEOUS IOT ENERGY-EFFICIENT COMPUTING AND VISUAL SENSING. IN-MEMORY COMPUTING SCHEMES, SUCH AS CROSSBAR MEMRISTOR ARRAYS, WILL BE IMPLEMENTED EMPLOYING LOW-COST, INDUSTRIALLY COMPATIBLE SUSTAINABLE PRINTING TECHNIQUES. THIS WILL ENABLE THE DESIGN OF ENERGY EFFICIENT NEUROMORPHIC AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPUTING SYSTEMS OPTIMIZED FOR A PLETHORA OF CONSUMER APPLICATIONS IN THE WEARABLE, HEALTHCARE, AND EDGE-COMPUTING SECTORS, MAKING ELEGANCE AN AMBITIOUS AND TECHNOLOGICALLY CONCRETE BREAKTHROUGH FOR THE IOT WITH HIGH POTENTIAL FOR LARGE SOCIETAL BENEFITS |
