Title: Neuromorphic sensing and computing in today’s AI landscape
Abstract: Inspired by the structure and dynamics of biological brains, neuromorphic hardware has mainly been used as a tool in computational neuroscience. However, today this hardware technology has reached the stage when it could enable the next step in computing hardware, enabling real-time energy efficient AI. In this talk, I will give a historical and geographic overview of the field and its applications, with an emphasis on event-based vision and robotics.
Short bio: Yulia Sandamirskaya is the Head of a Research Center “Cognitive computing in life sciences” at ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences. She has a PhD in Physics/Neural Computational from the Ruhr-University Bochum and was leading the Applications research team at the Neuromorphic Computing Lab at Intel and the research group “Neuromorphic cognitive robots” at INI, UZH/ETH Zurich. She was the coordinator of EU CSA NEUROTECH, shaping the Neuromorphic computing technology community in Europe and co-chaired the European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligent Systems, EUCog.
