Biomimetic Neuromorphic Sensory System via Electrolyte Gated Transistors

Biomimetic neuromorphic sensing systems, inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks, represent a major advancement in the field of sensing technology and artificial intelligence. This review paper focuses on the development and application of electrolyte gated transistors (EGTs) as the core components (synapses and neuros) of these neuromorphic systems. EGTs offer unique advantages, including low operating voltage, high transconductance, and biocompatibility, making them ideal for integrating with sensors, interfacing with biological tissues, and mimicking neural processes. Major advances in the use of EGTs for neuromorphic sensory applications such as tactile sensors, visual neuromorphic systems, chemical neuromorphic systems, and multimode neuromorphic systems are carefully discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and future directions of the field are explored, highlighting the potential of EGT-based biomimetic systems to revolutionize neuromorphic prosthetics, robotics, and human-machine interfaces. Through a comprehensive analysis of the latest research, this review is intended to provide a detailed understanding of the current status and future prospects of biomimetic neuromorphic sensory systems via EGT sensing and integrated technologies.
