Hardware implementation of artificial memristors for neural networks — •Bernhard Kaltschmidt, Marius Schirmer, Savio Fabretti, and Andy Thomas — Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany

Recently, we developed a circuit board, which is able to simulate a memristor like behavior. This circuit board was combined with Lego Mindstorms NXT. With this strategy, it was possible to emulate associative memory in an autonomous robot. Currently, we are working on our next step. Here, we want to replace the Lego Mindstorms NXT with a combination of a Raspberry Pi mini computer and a circuit board (Brick Pi), which offers the ports to connect original Lego-elements. The intention of this project is to upgrade the weak processing unit of the Lego Mindstorms NXT with a device, which has all the abilities of a complete computer system. This is supported by the simulation of the Pavlov model network in Brian.
