Can neuromorphic vision accelerate the arrival of intelligent robots?
We all know that when it comes to processing gargantuan amounts of data computers are unbeatable and that industrial robots are champions at coping with mind-numbingly repetitive tasks requiring unrelenting accuracy and energy.
However, despite all that, humans remain dominant at one critical thing that neither of those technologies can handle and that is the ability to recognise, interpret, analyse and intelligently learn from information gathered via data and real-time practical experiences.
But could all that change if the potential promises that neuromorphic vision technology purports to offer become working realities? This form of vision is defined as the development of artificial systems and circuits that exploit information typically found in the human eyes biological systems.
