Brain-like vision tech uses honey to slash energy use, cut e-waste, boost surveillance

SMRTR summary

A new artificial vision system inspired by the human brain and powered partly by honey has been developed by University of Glasgow researchers. The Electrolyte-Gated Organic Field-Effect Transistor (EGOFET) is highly energy-efficient and can process and store color information using eco-friendly materials. The device mimics how eyes and brains work, performing sensing, processing, and memory storage in one unit. This technology could lead to more sustainable artificial vision systems for applications like self-driving cars and security cameras.
