Computation with spiking neurons takes advantage of the abstraction of action potentials into streams of stereotypical events, which encode information through their timing. This approach both reduces power consumption and alleviates communication bottlenecks. A number of such spiking custom mixed-signal address event representation (AER) chips...

Neuromorphic hardware and cognitive robots seem like an obvious fit, yet progress to date has been frustrated by a lack of tangible progress in achieving useful real-world behaviour. System limitations: the simple and usually proprietary nature of neuromorphic and robotic platforms, have often been the fundamental barrier. Here we present an...
