Advances in Machine‐Learning Enhanced Nanosensors: From Cloud Artificial Intelligence Toward Future Edge Computing at Chip Level

Abstract

Machine‐learning‐enhanced nanosensors are rapidly emerging as a promising solution in the field of sensor technology, as traditional sensors encounter limitations of data analysis in their development. Since the inception of machine‐learning algorithms being applied to enhance nanosensors, they have gained significant attention due to their adaptive and predictive capabilities, which promise to dramatically improve efficiency in data collection and processing applications. Herein, a comprehensive overview of technological innovation is provided by reviewing the latest developments in cloud computing, edge computing, and the burgeoning realm of neuromorphic computing. Cloud computing has emerged as a powerhouse, harnessing formidable computational capabilities to process vast volumes of high‐dimensional data. Then, the research directions for various applications of these cloud artificial intelligence (AI)‐enhanced nanosensors are outlined. Moreover, the integration of AI and nanosensor technology into chip‐level edge computing, although promising, still faces challenges such as energy‐efficient hardware development, algorithm optimization, and scalability for mass production. Finally, a forward‐looking perspective on the future of machine‐learning‐enhanced nanosensors is provided, delineating the challenges and opportunities for further research and innovation in this exciting field.

Machine Learning Techniques for Improving Nanosensors in Agroenvironmental Applications

“…Complete transparency in the investigation of the safety of nanosensors, coupled with an education programme on the benefits and promise of nanosensors, can help confront these concerns. Possible developments in this technology would be linked to increased computational power for analysis and improved networking between nanosensor devices [219]. Another possibility involves the generation of multiple sensing systems into single devices aided by improved manufacturing techniques and computational tools that can aid the analysis of multiple data streams [95].…”
