Περίληψη: Printed electronics appears as a viable solution to bring computing and intelligence in domains such as disposables (e.g., packaged foods, beverages), smart packaging, low-end healthcare products (e.g., as smart bandages), in-situ monitoring, as well as the 10-trillion market of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). Printed electronics is increasingly recognized as a key enabler for the Internet of Things as part of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”, whose core technology advances are functionality and low-cost. While the impact of computing is almost ubiquitous, such application domains have not seen considerable penetration of computing that could help, for example, with identification and tracking, quality monitoring, brand authentication, or interactivity. Such domains pose requirements for ultra-low cost (even sub-cent) and conformality that lithography-based silicon technologies cannot satisfy. Silicon systems cannot meet stretchability, porosity, and flexibility requirements, while the high manufacturing, packaging, and assembly costs of silicon prevent sub-cent cost. Despite the attractive features, printed electronics technology exhibits several prevalent limitations. The large feature sizes lead to high device latencies and low integration density, i.e., orders of magnitude lower than in silicon, hindering the realization of complex systems such as machine learning (ML). The fact that in printed applications (healthcare and medical devices, smart packaging and logistics, sensors for IoT, industry and environmental monitoring, and automotive) the core task is mainly classification highlights the high need for realizing printed ML circuits albeit the inherent physical limitations. This talk will present our research activities towards enabling, for the first time, printed ML classification circuits by exploiting, among others, non-conventional computing approaches.
