Neuromorphic Computing: From Brain-Inspired Perception to Service Robots | Yulia Sandamirskaya

Yulia Sandamirskaya (ZHAW / Auroniq) presents “Neuromorphic computing: from brain-inspired perception to service robots” as part of the MaP Robotics, Vision, and Controls Talks series hosted by ETH Zürich.

In this talk, Yulia Sandamirskaya introduces the history, core ideas, and applications of neuromorphic computing: an approach inspired by biological brains and nervous systems not only at the algorithmic level, but also in computing hardware. She discusses why neuromorphic AI is relevant for robotics, highlighting its power efficiency, speed, and support for continual learning as a promising alternative to large deep-learning models. The talk also explores how biological principles can inspire perception, state estimation, motion planning, and control for service robots.
