Title: Interactive continual learning for robots: a neuromorphic approach
Overview: Researchers at Intel Labs, in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology and the Technical University of Munich, have introduced a new approach to neural network-based object learning, specifically targeting future robotics applications such as robotic assistants that interact with unconstrained environments – in situations like logistics, health- or elderly care.
The researchers developed new models that successfully demonstrated continual interactive learning on Intel’s neuromorphic research chip measuring up to 175x lower energy to learn a new object instance with similar or better speed and accuracy compared to conventional methods running on a central processing unit (CPU). This research is a crucial step in improving the capabilities of future assistive or manufacturing robots using neuromorphic computing to enable them to adapt to the unforeseen and work more naturally alongside humans.
