Area of Science:

• Materials Science
• Nanotechnology
• Artificial Intelligence

Background:

• Broadband Motion Detection and Recognition (BMDR) is crucial for AI robots but current technologies are limited.
• Existing BMDR systems often lack integrated perception, memory, and computation capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop an all-in-one BMDR device using a novel two-dimensional material.
• To demonstrate a ferroelectric field-effect transistor with broadband responsivity and integrated functionalities.

Main Methods:

• Fabrication of an Indium Selenide (InSe) ferroelectric field-effect transistor.
• Characterization of broadband responsivity (450-973 nm) and memory/computational properties.
• Integration of photoconductive mechanisms and interframe differencing for motion detection and recognition (MDR).

Main Results:

• The InSe device exhibited broadband responsivity due to its ~1.3 eV band gap.
• Ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) enabled memory, while conductance modulation facilitated computation for artificial synapses.
• Efficient MDR of a moving rabbit was achieved, with subsequent classification reaching 100% accuracy via a neural network.

Conclusions:

• The InSe ferroelectric field-effect transistor successfully integrates broadband perception, memory, and computation.
• This work paves the way for next-generation all-in-one BMDR technology utilizing two-dimensional devices.
• The device shows significant potential for enhancing AI robot capabilities.
