Brain-Inspired Robot Controller Uses Memristors for Fast, Efficient Movement

Robots are stuck in an analog world, and any physical interactions they have with the world (mediated through sensors) are fundamentally analog in nature. In this hybrid analog-digital computation platform, in which the digital component runs the high-level algorithm, the analog component is responsible for sensor fusion and motion control.
