IJCNN Special Session

This special session focuses on the intersection of neuromorphic computing, spiking neural networks, and autonomous systems. It highlights how bio-inspired approaches can enable intelligent, adaptive, and energy-efficient autonomous systems, particularly in areas like robotics, UAVs, and self-driving vehicles. Topics include advancements in neuromorphic algorithms, hardware, and cross-layer optimizations, with an emphasis on event-based dynamic vision sensing and multi-modal sensing for improved perception and responsiveness. The session addresses challenges such as real-time decision-making, continual learning, and building secure and robust systems, drawing insights from machine learning, robotics, and neuroscience communities.
