OT Researchers create artificial eye chip for robots By R. Colin Johnson EE Times (03/30/99, 3:40 p.m. EDT) BALTIMORE — Harnessing neural-network technology gleaned from the biology of the human eye, a Johns Hopkins University researcher has demonstrated a "smart eye" chip that combines image sensing with filtering and object-tracking capabilities. The brainchild of Ralph Etienne-Cummings, the circuit is based on a hybrid analog-digital CMOS technology and is touted as being much faster than distributed-component systems that use separate chips — such as an image sensor, microcontroller and non-volatile RAM — to control image-processing software. eetimes.com
