Speech Recognition with Cochlea‐Inspired In‐Sensor Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Traditional speech recognition methods rely on software‐based feature extraction that introduces latency and high energy costs, making them unsuitable for low‐power devices. A proof‐of‐concept demonstration is provided of a bioinspired tonotopic sensor for speech recognition that mimics the human cochlea, using a spiral‐shaped elastic metamaterial. The
