This topic area introduces the Neuromorphic Robotics Engineering Challenge in Extreme Environments, a DARPA-lite robotics initiative.
Beacon Search & Rescue: Robots must locate intermittent targets using a combination of sound, heat, and/or vision sensors.
Active Exploration & Mapping: Teams will implement energy-efficient coverage strategies to navigate and map environments under uncertainty.
Reflex-Safe Navigation: This project focuses on implementing spike-triggered reactive obstacle avoidance for safe and fast navigation.
