Human vision is a seamless stream of events, while robots process disjointed images, like camera snapshots. Adopting the silicon retina, our research aims to help robots see in a similar way to humans, enhancing their vision capabilities. This breakthrough has the potential to reshape small-scale robotics and improve the responsiveness and safety of autonomous vehicles, bridging the divide in perception.
