project is to develop energy-efficient neuromorphic systems based on artificial neural networks which process different types of sensory signals (data collected from event-based cameras, synchronous cameras, and other sensors) to extract meaningful information
from their surrounding environment (3D layout of the scene, objects of interest, threats, etc…). These systems will be first validated from labelled datasets and then tested in real-life situations (e.g., they will be embedded on drones interacting in real-time
with human operators).</span></p>
