Learning experience maps on a neuromorphic chip with Khepera robot equipped with a dynamic vision sensor

In this project, we will build a neural network on a spiking neuromorphic chip ROLLS [1] that will learn a simple map of the environment. The chip will be interfaced to a small robotic vehicle Khepera-IV (k-team: https://www.k-team.com/mobile-robotics-products/khepera-iv) that will be additionally equipped with a neuromorphic “artificial retina” camera DVS (dynamic vision sensor: https://inilabs.com/products/dynamic-vision-sensors/). The project can deal with different aspects of robot control, neural learning on-chip, or event-based vision.
