Fast, Efficient Neural Networks Copy Dragonfly Brains

Cars That Think

In my research at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, I study the brains of one of these larger insects, the dragonfly. By harnessing the speed, simplicity, and efficiency of the dragonfly nervous system, we aim to design computers that perform these functions faster and at a fraction of the power that conventional systems consume.
