Looking Locally: Object-Centric Vision Transformers as Foundation Models for Efficient Segmentation

ICML 2026poster

Current state-of-the-art segmentation models encode entire images before focusing on specific objects. This wastes computational resources. We introduce FLIP (Fovea-Like Input Patching), a parameter-efficient vision model that realizes object segmentation through biologically-inspired top-down atten…

Learning What and Where: Disentangling Location and Identity Tracking Without Supervision

ICLR 2023poster

Our brain can almost effortlessly decompose visual data streams into background and salient objects. Moreover, it can anticipate object motion and interactions, which are crucial abilities for conceptual planning and reasoning. Recent object reasoning datasets, such as CATER, have revealed fundament…

Many-Joint Robot Arm Control with Recurrent Spiking Neural Networks

IROS 2021poster

In the paper, we show how scalable, low-cost trunk-like robotic arms can be constructed using only basic 3D-printing equipment and simple electronics. The design is based on uniform, stackable joint modules with three degrees of freedom each. Moreover, we present an approach for controlling these ro…
