Neuromorphic Computing in Robotics — Next Phase

Robots don’t just need more power—they need smarter power. Neuromorphic chips process spikes like real neurons, delivering microsecond reactions and ultra-low energy decisions right on the robot. Intel’s Loihi 2 shows 10× improvements and a scalable dev stack Lava for on-device intelligence, while Manchester’s SpiNNaker models brain-scale spiking networks in biological real time.

Pair these chips with event-based cameras—sensors that only report change—and robots see motion without blur, at night, and in smoke. Labs and industry now demonstrate high-speed navigation, SLAM, and manipulation with microsecond latency and 120 dB dynamic range.

New reviews argue this brain-inspired stack (spiking models + event sensors + specialized hardware) is moving from demos to deployments in mobile robots, factories, and assistive devices—and IBM’s latest brain-like chips point to practical autonomy at a fraction of today’s energy.
