Robotics is the next frontier in the progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as the real world in which robots operate represents an enormous, complex, continuous state space with inherent real-time requirements.

In this paper, we propose a parsimonious and adjustable neuromorphic PID controller, endowed with a minimal number of 93 neurons sparsely connected to achieve autonomous, onboard altitude control of a quadrotor equipped with Intel's Loihi neuromorphic chip.

Our experiments show that depth estimation is substantially improved on low-texture scenes, without any loss on textured scenes, when compared to Monodepth by Godard et al. Secondly, we show that training with an application's representative rotations, in both pitch and roll, is sufficient to significantly improve performance over the entire range of expected rotation.

We focus on the complex task of learning to estimate optical flow from event-based camera inputs in a self-supervised manner, and modify the state-of-the-art ANN training pipeline to encode minimal temporal information in its inputs.

This initiative is meant to stimulate and facilitate robotic integration of neuromorphic AI, with the opportunity to adapt traditional off-the-shelf sensors to spiking neural nets within one of the most powerful robotic tools, ROS.

This is achieved by means of an event-based camera, along with a fast RANSAC-based algorithm that uses event-based OF to determine the FOE.

However, a major challenge for using such processors on robotic platforms is the reality gap between simulation and the real world.

We study this persistent form of SSL in the context of a flying robot that has to avoid obstacles based on distance estimates from the visual cue of stereo vision.
