Prof.
Francois Berry
Environment monitoring with a very low resolution visual sensor network
Prof.
Francois Berry
François Berry is full professor at the University of Clermont-Auvergne. His research is focused on smart cameras, active vision, embedded vision systems and hardware/software co-design algorithms. He is co-founder of the Workshop on Architecture of Smart Camera (WASC); the Scabot (Workshop in conjunction with IEEE IROS), and the startup WISP.
Prof.
Jörg Conradt
Embedded event-based vision systems for miniature autonomous robotics
Prof.
Jörg Conradt
Jörg Conradt is Associate Professor of Neuronal Computing Systems at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Sweden. His research group investigates key principles by which information processing in brains works, and applies those to real-world interacting technical systems.
Prof.
Margarita Chli
Asynchronous corner detection and tracking in the event stream
Prof.
Margarita Chli
Margarita is a Professor at ETH Zurich leading the Vision for Robotics Lab. Her interests lie in Computer Vision for Robotics and her work contributed to the first vision-based autonomous flight of a small helicopter. In 2016, she featured in Robohub’s list of 25 women in Robotics you need to know about and in 2017, she received the biannual Zonta prize and was a speaker at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Prof.
Luca Benini
An always on smart visual node based on uW imager with contrast-extraction and motion-detection capabilities
Prof.
Luca Benini
Luca Benini holds the chair of digital Circuits and systems at ETHZ and is Full Professor at the Universita di Bologna. His research interests are in energy-efficient system design, smart sensing micro-systems and ultra-low power VLSI circuits. He is the recipient of the 2016 IEEE CAS Mac Van Valkenburg award.
Prof. Davide Scaramuzza
The future of event-camera research and applications
Prof. Davide Scaramuzza
Davide Scaramuzza is Tenured Associate Professor of Robotics and Perception ETH Zurich and University of Zurich, where he does research at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and neuroscience. In 2015, he cofounded a venture, Zurich-Eye, dedicated to the commercialization of visual-inertial navigation solutions for mobile robots, which later became Facebook-Oculus VR Switzerland. His research was awarded a number of prestigious awards and prominently featured in the popular press.
Prof.
Tobi Delbruck
Using "silicon retina"event cameras for quick visual robots
Prof.
Tobi Delbruck
Tobi Delbruck is a Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering with the Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, where he has been since 1998. The Sensors group that he leads focuses on neuromorphic sensory processing and efficient hardware deep neural networks. He is a co-founder of INILabs and INIvation start-ups.
Prof.
Andrew Davison
Novel hardware for spatial AI
Prof.
Andrew Davison
Andrew Davison is Professor of Robot Vision and Director of the Dyson Robotics Laboratory at Imperial College London. His long-term research focus is on SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) and `Spatial AI’ in general. He is a co-founder of specialist applied SLAM start-up SLAMcore.
Prof.
Guido de Croon
From drones to drones: Bio-inspired autonomous UAVs
Prof.
Guido de Croon
Guido de Croon is associate professor at TU Delft and scientific lead of the Micro Air Vehicle lab (MAV-lab) of Delft University of Technology. His research interest lies with computationally efficient algorithms for robot autonomy, with an emphasis on computer vision. Since 2008 he has worked on algorithms for achieving autonomous flight with small and light-weight flying robots, such as the DelFly flapping wing MAV.
Prof.
Piotr Dudek
Vision sensors with pixel-parallel processor arrays
Prof.
Piotr Dudek
Piotr Dudek is a Professor of Circuits and Systems in the School of EEE, the University of Manchester. His expertise is in mixed-signal VLSI chip design, and his main research interest are in neuromorphic and brain-inspired electronics, fine-grain massively parallel computer architectures, cellular processor arrays and vision systems. He has been researching and developing vision sensors, with processing circuits closely integrated within the pixel arrays for over 20 years.
