Neuromorphic sensors and edge AI
Sensor architectures inspired by event-driven computation can cut redundant data movement and make edge intelligence more efficient where power and latency are tightly constrained.

Rethinking how information is sensed
Traditional pipelines capture more data than downstream algorithms actually need. Neuromorphic sensing shifts the balance by emphasizing change and salience, which can reduce bandwidth and simplify inference at the edge.
The interesting imec angle is the co-design problem: materials, devices, architectures, and algorithms all need to align before the efficiency gains become meaningful in a product context.
