In this talk\, we will introduce neuromorphic e vent-based vision cameras and a range of applications from tracking space junk and satellites to their applications in robotic foosball and pinball. We will demonstrate real-world results from space tracking with event-bas ed cameras\, and introduce our Astrosite mobile neuromorphic telescope obs ervatories - built specifically to leverage the benefits of neuromorphic s pace imaging. We will describe some of the problems with benchmarking and comparing neuromorphic systems\, and show how robotic foosball and robotic pinball machines may be a great way to demonstrate the benefits of neurom orphic systems.\n\nBio:\n\nGregory Cohen is an Associate Professor in Neur omorphic Systems at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICN S) at Western Sydney University and program lead for neuromorphic algorith ms and space applications. Prior to returning to research from industry\, he worked in several start-ups and established engineering and consulting firms including working as a consulting engineer in the field of large-sca le HVAC from 2007 to 2009\, as an electronic design engineer from 2009 to 2011\, and as an expert consultant for Kaiser Economic Development Practic e in 2012. He is a pioneer of event-based and neuromorphic sensing for spa ce imaging applications and his research interests include unsupervised fe ature extraction\, bio-inspired machine learning\, and neuromorphic comput ation systems. Greg holds a BSc(Eng)\, MSc(Eng)\, and BCom(Hons) from the University of Cape Town\, South Africa and a joint PhD from Western Sydney University\, Sydney\, Australia and the University of Pierre and Marie Cu rie in Paris\, France.\n\nCo-sponsored by: QUT Centre for Robotics\n\nSpea ker(s): A/Prof. Gregory Cohen \, \n\nBrisbane\, Queensland\, Australia\, V irtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/266957 LOCATION:Brisbane\, Queensland\, Australia\, Virtual: https://events.vtools .ieee.org/m/266957 ORGANIZER:t.peynot@qut.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Neuromorphic Vision Applications: From Robotic Foosball to Tracking Space Junk URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/266957 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Speaker: Gregory Cohen <br /></str ong></p>\n<p><strong>Title: Neuromorphic Vision Applications: From Robotic Foosball to Tracking Space Junk<br /></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:< /strong></p>\n<p>Neuromorphic event-based cameras offer a different way to approach visual imaging tasks and really excel at problems in which they can leverage the unique way that the hardware works.
