Research Group Neuromorphic Computing

Introduction
The Neuromorphic Computing Group develops advanced neural-network based algorithms, software libraries, and systems with the new generation of computing chips – brain-inspired neuromorphic sensing and computing hardware. We focus on perception, motion planning, and control for robotic actuators with applications in life sciences: healthcare, agriculture, food processing, and smart environments. We follow a human-centered design approach to develop new generation of physical AI systems that are power-efficient, adaptive, and safe.

Shapescience – AI for morpholigcally based fruit variety recognition
Pomological and molecular genetic methods have been the tools of choice to describe fruit varieties and their characteristics. Thanks to the possibility of using 3D scanning technology and machine learning, there is a revival of phenotyping, i.e. the typification of fruits based on their appearance. The Shapescience ...
