Abstract

Prototype a small neuromorphic robotics experiment using spiking neural networks for event-driven perception or reactive control.

Scientific question: Can event-driven neural computation provide efficient reactive behavior for simple robotic tasks?

Contribution: Planned educational research prototype connecting SNN dynamics, event streams, and robotic behavior.

Research questions

  • Which robotics tasks are appropriate for a first SNN prototype?
  • How should spike activity be visualized for interpretability?
  • What baseline should an SNN controller be compared against?

Implementation status

Experiments and metrics

Experiments

  • Planned SNN control simulation

Metrics

  • task success — planned
  • spike rate — planned
  • latency — planned

Quantitative benchmark tables will be added only after reproducible experiments are available.

Limitations

  • This is a future-facing planned project, not a completed neuromorphic system.
  • Quantitative claims are intentionally withheld until reproducible benchmark runs are available.
  • Visual figures and GIFs are placeholders unless a project page explicitly states that an artifact is generated from real experiments.

Reproducibility plan

Experiment workflow

Each module is prepared to document configuration files, datasets, evaluation metrics, and repeated experiment runs before quantitative claims are shown.

Repository setup

Public repositories are linked when available. Private, planned, or incomplete repositories remain clearly labelled rather than being presented as finished systems.
