A UMass-led system processes touch events using memristive hardware locally. Demonstrated in Nature Sensors, the architecture combines a flexible haptic sensor array with event-triggered circuitry and a memristive system-on-chip to cut energy and latency versus conventional digital sensing pipelines.
