Towards Visually-Guided Neuromorphic Robots

Welcome to the Beobot Project!

Beobots are autonomous robots whose brains are standard Linux clusters of computers which run real-time neuromorphic vision algorithms.

Just like Beowulf Clusters have revolutionized the world of high-performance computing, replacing costly and slowly-evolving custom supercomputer hardware by assemblies of inexpensive, mass-produced personal computers, we hope that Beobots (a Beowulf cluster on a mobile robot) will lead the way towards a new generation of robotics systems that are inexpensive, rapidly evolving, built from standard mass-produced components, and armed with sufficient computational power to run real-time neuromorphic vision algorithms.

So what exactly is a Beobot?
What hardware does it use?
What software does it run?
Who are the people working on it?
Who are the project's sponsors?
Where are the publications about it?
Can I see a picture gallery?
How do I contact the team?
