Researchers have constructed the first reservoir computing device using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). The device is a virtual neural network that physically mimics the human brain, allowing the network to perform the highly complex calculations required by emerging artificial intelligence. In demonstrations, the device easily and efficiently switched between common benchmark tasks for neural networks, including classifying spoken sounds and processing binary patterns with accuracies of 78.2 percent and 99.9 percent.
