Reservoir computing is noted for its low-training-cost capability in temporal signals processing [1,2]. Thus, hardware implementations tailored to requirements in reservoir computing would profoundly improve data processing in edge computing where the energy budget and bandwidth is strictly limited. In this work, we report a Hf0.5Zr0.5O2-based three-terminal ferroelectric memcapacitor (FMC) with nonideal depolarization dynamics for multi-sensory information processing physical reservoir computing (RC) system. Our RC system is verified by standard benchmarking tasks with high accuracy, and the power consumption (~2.4 nW per reservoir state) outperform most hardware and software-based RC systems. Furthermore, such physical RCs are capable of recognizing sensory information including graphic, acoustic, electrophysiological, and mechanic modalities. As proof-of-concept, a touchless user interface (TUI) for virtual shopping is demonstrated using FMC-based RC systems which can identify purchasing operations based on acoustic and electrophysiological commands. Our design would shed light on the development of high energy-efficiency edge computing apparatus.
