Open Positions at IRI
- ALL 4: Spike based vision platform for high-speed low power robotics.[Locations: IMSE (Sevilla) & IRI (Barcelona)].
Supervisors: Teresa Serrano (IMSE) and Juan Andrade (IRI). They are joining efforts to address the problem of using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) as a viable and promising alternative to conventional AI systems. SNNs represent a paradigm shift in how information is processed, leveraging a sparse sequence of spikes to code information. This approach potentially offers a pathway to significantly more energy-efficient AI systems. The proposal is of interest to the various companies and organizations that support our joint activities.
