IJCNN Tutorial "In-Material Physical Computing"

Organizers: Takuya Matsumoto; Tsuyoshi Hasegawa; Hirofumi Tanaka; Ryosho Nakane; Seiya Kasai; Akira Hirose

Abstract: This tutorial will provide an introduction to "computing based on material", which utilizes the inherent structure and properties in materials to perform in-situ environmental recognition such as speech and text. The talks will be given by leading researchers in a wide range of fields, from theoretical background to applications to devices and robotics using inorganic, organic, and nanomaterials. This tutorial contains six talks: 1. Overview – theory and applications, 2. Physical computing based on dynamics in analog electronic devices and circuits, 3. Reservoir computing with spin waves: how to leverage waves in materials, 4. Electrolyte-based physical reservoir computing, 5. Molecular physical computing, 6. Material physical reservoir computing with chemical dynamics.
