The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $174,229 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to Michigan Technological University. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, with a completion date of September 30, 2025, is focused on developing a self-learning neuromorphic robot system that can operate efficiently in resource-constrained environments.

The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) create a neuromorphic robot that utilizes spiking neural networks, neural assemblies, and various neural coding schemes for perception and navigation; and 2) develop self-learning algorithms that mimic the process of associative memory learning to enable the robot to learn without relying on labeled datasets and human intervention. The project aims to address critical challenges in artificial intelligence and robotics related to data scarcity and energy efficiency. If successful, this research has the potential to introduce a new self-learning method that diverges from traditional data-driven AI approaches. The project will also provide interdisciplinary research opportunities for college and high school students in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
