Intel Labs Day 2020

On December 3, Intel Labs hosted a virtual open house for international press and tech analysts around the world. This was a major event for our neuromorphic research program – it included a number of talks, five Loihi demos, and a press release announcing our newest corporate members in the INRC. Check out the following videos from the event:

• Intel Labs Day keynote – Rich Uhlig with breakouts to me and several other IL researchers covering topics ranging from silicon photonics to quantum computing to machine programming to neuromorphic computing (the neuromorphic segment begins at 12:32)

• Early benchmarking results for neuromorphic computing: what it reveals about future adoption

  – Mike Davies

• How Neuromorphic Computing will Help Industries Drive at the Edge – Alex Kass + team (Accenture)

• Ultra-fast vision-based drone control with Loihi – Yulia Sandamirskaya (Intel), Davide Scaramuzza (ETH Zurich)

• One-shot object learning for robots with Loihi and iCub – Yulia Sandamirskaya (Intel), Arren Glover (IIT Genoa)

• Adaptive human gesture learning – Kenneth Stewart (UCI), Andreea Danielescu (Accenture)

• Adaptive control for assistive robotic arms – Lazar Supic (Accenture)

• Automotive voice command recognition – Tim Shea (Accenture)

You might also be interested in the main Intel Labs Day news page, our neuromorphic press release, and a long list of articles from various outlets covering the event – for example VentureBeat, ZDNet, and Neowin. I’d especially point you to Sally Ward-Foxton’s EE Times article that provides a great report of our comprehensive Loihi benchmarking results.

Speaking of those benchmarking results, here are my slides from that talk, for your reference:

Thanks to Accenture and a long list of INRC members whose brilliant work with Loihi gave us plenty of impressive results to cover in this event! Thanks to all of you, neuromorphic computing is advancing fast!
