These systems often have high power consumption and difficulties in performing complex image learning and processing tasks. Therefore, our newly developed method is of great significance for the next generation of artificial visual systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bionic eye implants work inside the existing eye structures or in the brain. They are designed to achieve functional vision goals\u2014as opposed to physical, cosmetic ones. Several&nbsp;bionic&nbsp;eye implants are in development, but currently, very few are available and are suitable only for blindness caused by specific eye diseases. However, as research continues, more and more people may soon benefit from high-tech&nbsp;bionic eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Fu&#8217;s innovative ideas have already contributed to advances in piezoelectric materials-based biosensing and diagnostic tools, cell patterning and manipulation. He also has an&nbsp;international reputation&nbsp;for his work around the advancement of shape memory thin films and polymers used in microsurgery and drug delivery. He has developed nano-structured smart materials for gas sensing and renewable energy applications.<\/p>\n<p>A Professor in Smart Materials and Microsystems, Professor Fu, works within
