A tactile robotic finger tip and a spiking neural network read Braille
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 andContinue reading
Holomorphic Equilibrium Propagation
Thrilled to introduce Holomorphic Equilibrium Propagation (hEP) in this new preprint led by Axel Laborieux. We extend classic equilibrium propagation to the complex domain and show that it computes exact gradients with finite size oscillations,Continue reading
The lab on tour
September was meeting month with the lab attending several meetings and conferences, including the Bernstein conference in Berlin and the FMI annual meeting in Grindelwald. After a long hiatus it was great to finally engageContinue reading
