Event-driven Vision and Control for UAVs on a Neuromorphic Chip

ICRA 2021poster

Event-based vision sensors achieve up to three orders of magnitude better speed vs. power consumption trade off in high-speed control of UAVs compared to conventional image sensors. Event-based cameras produce a sparse stream of events that can be processed more efficiently and with a lower latency…

Error estimation and correction in a spiking neural network for map formation in neuromorphic hardware

ICRA 2020poster

Neuromorphic hardware offers computing platforms for the efficient implementation of spiking neural networks (SNNs) that can be used for robot control. Here, we present such an SNN on a neuromorphic chip that solves a number of tasks related to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM): forming a…

Event-based PID controller fully realized in neuromorphic hardware: a one DoF study

IROS 2020poster

Spiking Neuronal Networks (SNNs) realized in neuromorphic hardware lead to low-power and low-latency neuronal computing architectures. Neuromorphic computing systems are most efficient when all of perception, decision making, and motor control are seamlessly integrated into a single neuronal archite…

Towards neuromorphic control: A spiking neural network based PID controller for UAV

RSS 2020poster

In this work, we present a spiking neural network (SNN) based PID controller on a neuromorphic chip. On-chip SNNs are currently being explored in low-power AI applications. Due to potentially ultra-low power consumption, low latency, and high processing speed, on-chip SNNs are a promising tool for c…

Pose Estimation and Map Formation with Spiking Neural Networks: towards Neuromorphic SLAM

IROS 2018poster

In this paper, we investigate the use of ultra low-power, mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic hardware for implementation of biologically inspired neuronal path integration and map formation for a mobile robot. We perform spiking network simulations of the developed architecture, interfaced to…
