Coordinating agents through hazardous environments, such as aid-delivering drones navigating conflict zones or field robots traversing deployment areas filled with obstacles, poses fundamental planning challenges. We introduce and analyze…

Neuromorphic computing is henceforth a major research field for both academic and industrial actors. As opposed to Von Neumann machines, brain-inspired processors aim at bringing closer the memory and the computational elements to…

Navigation has been classically solved in robotics through the combination of SLAM and planning. More recently, beyond waypoint planning, problems involving significant components of (visual) high-level reasoning have been explored in…

To solve a navigation task based on experiences, we need a mechanism to associate places with objects and to recall them along the course of action. In a reward-oriented task, if the route to a reward location is simulated in mind after…

The space of possible behaviors complex biological systems may exhibit is unimaginably vast, and these systems often appear to be stochastic, whether due to variable noisy environmental inputs or intrinsically generated chaos. The brain is…

In this paper, we consider networks of deterministic spiking neurons, firing synchronously at discrete times; such spiking neural networks are inspired by networks of neurons and synapses that occur in brains. We consider the problem of…

Neurons in the brain communicate with each other through discrete action spikes as opposed to continuous signal transmission in artificial neural networks. Therefore, the traditional techniques for optimization of parameters in neural…

Spiking neural network is a kind of neuromorphic computing that is believed to improve the level of intelligence and provide advantages for quantum computing. In this work, we address this issue by designing an optical spiking neural…

Spiking neural networks play an important role in brain-like neuromorphic computations and in studying working mechanisms of neural circuits. One drawback of training a large scale spiking neural network is that updating all weights is…

Over the past decade Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) have emerged as one of the popular architectures to emulate the brain. In SNN, information is temporally encoded and communication between neurons is accomplished by means of spikes. In…

The increasing need for intelligent sensors in a wide range of everyday objects requires the existence of low power information processing systems which can operate autonomously in their environment. In particular, merging and processing…

The human brain can be considered to be a graphical structure comprising of tens of billions of biological neurons connected by synapses. It has the remarkable ability to automatically re-route information flow through alternate paths in…

Animals use a combination of egocentric navigation driven by the internal integration of environmental cues, interspersed with geocentric course correction and reorientation, often with uncertainty in sensory acquisition of information,…

Developing networks of neural systems can exhibit spontaneous, synchronous activities called neural bursts, which can be important in the organization of functional neural circuits. Before the network matures, the activity level of a burst…

Rhythmic activity has been associated with a wide range of cognitive processes. Previous studies have shown that spike-timing-dependent plasticity can facilitate the transfer of rhythmic activity downstream the information processing…

Spiking neural network is a type of artificial neural network in which neurons communicate between each other with spikes. Spikes are identical Boolean events characterized by the time of their arrival. A spiking neuron has internal…

Dynamical systems models for controlling multi-agent swarms have demonstrated advances toward resilient, decentralized navigation algorithms. We previously introduced the NeuroSwarms controller, in which agent-based interactions were…

As the robot explores the environment, the map grows over time in the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system, especially for the large scale environment. The ever-growing map prevents long-term mapping. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we present a novel path planning algorithm to achieve fast path planning in complex environments. Most existing path planning algorithms are difficult to quickly find a feasible path in complex environments or even fail.…

Humans perform remarkably well in many cognitive tasks including pattern recognition. However, the neuronal mechanisms underlying this process are not well understood. Nevertheless, artificial neural networks, inspired in brain circuits,…
