Abstract :
The paper describes a method to simulate the reflex action of human beings in a robot. The paper uses the recently discovered memristors to implement a method for the reflex action, using a configuration of memristors developed to form multi-directional circuits. The benefit of memristive systems is that they are capable of integrating both data storage and data processing in a single device, which offers the potential to more closely emulate the capabilities of biological intelligence.
