The memristive artificial neuron high level architecture for biologically inspired robotic systems

In this paper we propose a new hardware architecture for the implementation of an artificial neuron based on organic memristive elements and operational amplifiers. This architecture is proposed as a possible solution for the integration and deployment of the cluster based bio- realistic simulation of a mammalian brain into a robotic system. Originally, this simulation has been developed through a neuro-biologically inspired cognitive architecture (NeuCogAr) re-implementing basic emotional states or affects in a computational system. This way, the dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline pathways developed in NeuCogAr are synthesized through hardware memristors suitable for the implementation of basic emotional states or affects on a biologically inspired robotic system.
