Abstract
In this work, an all-in-one neuromorphic controller system with reduced latency and power consumption for a robotic arm is presented. Biological muscle movement consists of stretching and shrinking fibres via spike-commanded signals that come from motor neurons, which in turn are connected to a central pattern generator neural structure. In addition, biological systems are able to respond to diverse stimuli rather fast and efficiently, and this is based on the way information is coded within neural processes. As opposed to human-created encoding systems, neural ones use neurons and spikes to process the information and make weighted decisions based on a continuous learning process. The Event-Driven Scorbot platform (ED-Scorbot) consists of a 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) robotic arm whose controller implements a Spiking Proportional-Integrative- Derivative algorithm, mimicking in this way…
