ABSTRACT
Current research at the University of Edinburgh has developed pulse-stream neural systems to operate on the boundary between the analog sensory environment and that of conventional digital processors. The issues of where, how and why pulse stream neural hardware should be applied are examined in this section. We present here a chip, EPSILON II (Edinburgh Pulse Stream Implemenation of a Learning Oriented Network) and a processor card incorporating it that have been designed to bring pulse stream neural hardware to bear on real applications. As an example, an autonomous mobile robot is described.
