This fun project started as a summer student project at Telluride 2021 led and advised by Chiara Bartolozzi and myself. An incredibly motivated group of summer students taught a robotic fingertip with tactile sensors and a downstream spiking network how to read Braille letters, ultimately leading to a nice new benchmark dataset and this publication:
