As Frank Tobe writes on The Robot Report, 2016 has been the best year ever for funding robotics startup companies. According to his research, 128 robotics-related startups received a funding of nearly 2 billion US-$ in 2016, an increase of 50% compared to 2015, which has already been a very good year with a total […]
For many practical tasks, conventional computing systems cannot match the performance of biological systems. One of the reasons is that the architecture of nervous systems is based on billions of nerve cells, which communicate in parallel. Artificial brain-inspired hardware architectures (called neuromorphic computing “NMC” or sometimes cortical processing in the US) would be able to […]
Dear friends and fellows of ECHORD++, 2016 has been a very busy but also very successful year for our project. 16 new experiments have joined the consortium, developing exciting robotic solutions for use-cases in agriculture, rehabilitation, industry, logistics and more. The 15 experiments selected from the first call have already finished their work within ECHORD++, […]
