Bio-Inspired Robotic Vision

How do robots orient themselves when everything is in motion? Animals can do this very well – with a highly sensitive visual apparatus. Novel event cameras use sensor technology borrowed from the animal world. Instead of registering entire images, they only register changes in light, in each pixel individually, with millisecond precision. But registering changes does not mean recognizing movement. And that's exactly what technical systems need – from autonomous driving to production lines. We research methods and algorithms to help machines learn to see motion. Suitable for ages 12 and up.
