Are memristors the future of AI?: A review of recent progress and future perspectives

Abstract

We review the state-of-the-art of neuromorphic memristor science and technology. We cover principles of memristors and neuromorphic systems, computational models of memristors, and hardware implementations. Potential applications of memristors are also described, including supercomputing, image processing, computer vision, intelligent control, and robotics. This review is based on the chapters of the present volume, which extend the materials of the invited and plenary talks given at the series of events on memristors in 2011.We elaborate on challenges and future perspectives of this promising new research field.
