Neuromorphic control /neurorobotics
Collection
Purpose of the collection

This collection of courses introduces the eight-dimensional space that defines the scope of current and future research, education, and applications in neurotechnology. It focuses on Neuromorphic control /neurorobotics  .

Neuromorphic control /neurorobotics
Neuromorphic control integrates neuromorphic computing with robotics, creating systems that interact with the real world through sensors and effectors. This field is crucial for developing soft robotics that emulate the compliance and dynamic configuration of biological bodies.

Example: Designing a robotic arm with neuromorphic controllers that allow for smooth, adaptive movements, enhancing its functionality and safety in human-robot interactions.  

Courses in TrainingSpace

These are non-credit courses on the INCF TrainingSpace.

Number of courses: 3
  •  
    Introduction to brain computer interface Level: 1 Introductory
    In this module you will learn the basics of Brain Computer Interface (BCI). You will read an introduction to the different technologies available, the main components and steps required for BCI, associated safety and ethical issues, as well as an overview about the future of the field.

  •  
    Neuroethics of Brain-Hardware Interfaces Level: 1 Introductory
    This lecture covers the ethical implications of the use of brain-computer interfaces, brain-machine interfaces, and deep brain stimulation to enhance brain functions and was part of the Neuro Day Workshop held by the NeuroSchool of Aix Marseille University.

    Topics covered in this lesson:
    - Introduction to brain-hardware interfaces
    - Neuroethics of brain-hardware interfaces: Clinical, research, and theoretical neuroethics
  •  
    The ethical roboticist Level: 1 Introductory
    This lecture explores two questions regarding the ethics of robot development and use. Firstly, the increasingly urgent question of the ethical use of robots: are there particular applications of robots that should be proscribed, in eldercare, or surveillance, or combat? Secondly, the talk deals with the longer-term question of whether intelligent robots themselves could or should be ethical.

    Topics covered in this lesson:
    - Ethics of robots/robotics
    - Robot applications
    - Culpability in-silico?
