The Higgins Laboratory
From brains to robots, and everything in between.

This video shows a simulation of target tracking using the Neuromorphic algorithm described in this paper.

In this video, you can actually see the RoboMoth robot turn when the moth sees visual motion. This is possible because we have coupled the vision system of the moth directly to the robot.

In this video, you can see and hear the response of a direction-selective visual neuron in the moth's brain responding to a visual stimulus.

This video shows a robotic demonstration simulation of target tracking using actual vision chips designed using the Neuromorphic algorithm described in this paper.

This video demonstrates a Neuromorphic VLSI hardware system processing visual motion. It mimics a living visual system to selectively respond to one direction of motion versus another. You can find details in this paper. (As you might guess, this video was made just about the same time as Star Wars Episode I was released.)
