Event-based Particle Filtering for Robot Self-Localization
For those more interested in science, a small remark about my recent scientific research. I published an interesting, new method for robot self-localization using a low-profile event-based sensor. See here and here for more information about the sensor.
The main challenge was to adapt well known methods in computer vision to a new kind of hardware. Instead of full images at a fixed frame rate our method works with a stream of individual pixel events. This has the advantage that much less computation power, almost no memory and much less electrical power is required - making our method especially suitable for embedded applications.
Next week I will fly to China and present the paper a the Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics - hooray! This will be an exciting trip and I am really curious what China is alike.
