Rapid and accurate dense time-to-collision (TTC) estimation in resource-constrained, low-light environments is challenging for event-based camera systems. Fixed-time event representations like voxel grids face an inherent trade-off: larger temporal windows improve perception accuracy but increase st
Masked Autoencoders (MAEs) have emerged as a powerful pretraining technique for vision foundation models. Despite their effectiveness, they require extensive hyperparameter tuning (masking ratio, patch size, encoder/decoder layers) when applied to novel datasets. While prior theoretical works have a…
Event-based sensors have recently drawn increasing interest in robotic perception due to their lower latency, higher dynamic range, and lower bandwidth requirements compared to standard CMOS-based imagers. These properties make them ideal tools for real-time perception tasks in highly dynamic enviro
This paper presents a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) based system for reasoning about high-speed motion. As a representative scenario we consider a robot at rest, reacting to a small, fast approaching object at speeds higher than 15 m/s. Since conventional image sensors at typical frame rates observe s…
A major challenge in reinforcement learning is exploration, when local dithering methods such as epsilon-greedy sampling are insufficient to solve a given task. Many recent methods have proposed to intrinsically motivate an agent to seek novel states, driving the agent to discover improved reward. H…
