Lobachevsky University researchers present neuromorphic and neurohybrid technologies at the Russian Academy of Sciences

Victor Kazantsev, Head of the UNN Neurotechnology Department, made a presentation entitled "Neuromorphic control and biomorphic robotics" at the session of the Scientific Council of the RAS Department of Nanotechnology and Information Technology. It was chaired by RAS Academician Gennady Krasnikov. The topic of the meeting was neuromorphic computing and components for its implementation.

Also, Mikhail Ivanchenko, Head of the UNN Applied Mathematics Department, made a presentation on "Robust and logically transparent artificial intelligence: information processing principles for neuromorphic and neurohybrid systems". Alexey Mikhaylov, Head of the Laboratory for Memristor Nanoelectronics at the UNN Research and Education Centre «Physics of Solid State Nanostructures», gave a report on "Neuroelectronics - intelligent neuromorphic and neurohybrid systems based on new electronic components". Several papers were presented by Lobachevsky University partners.

The reports included the results of basic and applied research at the UNN Youth Laboratory for Memristor Nanoelectronics that was set up at Lobachevsky University in 2022, and at the UNN Laboratory of Stochastic Multistable Systems under the project "Neuroelectronics - Intelligent Neuromorphic and Neurohybrid Systems Based on New Electronic Components". This research made part of the programme of the National Centre for Physics and Mathematics aimed at studying artificial intelligence and Big Data in technical, industrial, natural and social systems. 

The topic of the meeting garnered great interest and brought together over 110 participants in person and online from different parts of Russia. The Scientific Council underlined Lobachevsky University’s leading role in the field of neuromorphic technologies and noted its efforts to promote interaction beneficial for all parties involved in the implementation of complex and interdisciplinary projects in the field of neuromorphic technologies.
