Workshop on Neuromorphic Robotic Systems (NeuRoSys)
NeuRoSys: Workshop on Neuromorphic Robotic Systems
In conjunction with
Robotics: Science and Systems 2026
July 13-17, 2026
University of Technology Sydney
Sydney, Australia
Examines how neuromorphic sensing and perception - technologies inspired by biological neural systems - can be integrated into robotic systems to improve autonomy and energy efficiency. Focuses on real-world applications where neuromorphic hardware enables robots to navigate, plan, and control movements more effectively in dynamic environments with limited computational resources.
