Haptic In‐Sensor Computing Device Based on CNT/PDMS Nanocomposite Physical Reservoir

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a porous carbon nanotube‐polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a sensor array integrated with a physical reservoir computing paradigm capable of in‐sensor computing is demonstrated. The device is able to classify between nine objects with an accuracy above 80%, opening the possibility for low‐power sensing/computing for future robotics.
