The first 1h session will present highlights from the community on how Loihi is being used to advance robotics, but also from our external partners on robotic challenges that could be addressed by neuromoprhic computing in the nearest future.

In the second hour, our partners will present requirements and system integration aspects that Loihi needs to address to have impact in robotics. At the end of the hour, Jon Tse will present an overview of Loihi 2 systems that are under development and that are possible in the future, given enough demand.

This session will be followed by a 1h Workgroup, in which we will start with a discussion, driven by the participants' questions and comments and will use the last 30min to draft the Lava-robo library that will address the needs of robotic applications.
