• Pushing the Boundaries of Artificial Intelligence

  March 1, 2012 | By Max Versace

  Feature article on BU Today, by Courtney Humphries.

  Massimiliano “Max” Versace sits in a conference room at BU’s Neuromorphics Laboratory. The lab director is holding one of the lab’s frequent visitors—his infant son, who is looking intently at his father. “This is a great example of a general-purpose learning machine,” Versace says—and he is only half joking. Versace has been discussing the lab’s primary goal: to build an artificial intelligence that is smarter than any robot yet created. Read the rest of this entry »

• Industrial outreach: our collaboration with HP to “fuel” Shell

  February 21, 2012 | By Max Versace

  A very interesting article on Mercury News with an interview to "HP Labs Director Prith Banerjee mentioning the latest HP Lab strategies and Cog Ex Machina, the software platform developed by HP Labs in collaboration with the Boston University Neuromorphics Lab.

  From the article: "HP Labs Director Prith Banerjee wants to be disruptive. When he was named to lead Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) research arm in 2007, Banerjee launched a reorganization that narrowed the labs' focus to a short list of high-impact research topics, described as "Big Bets" that have the potential to create significant business opportunities for HP."

• NASA Langley awards the Neuromorphics Lab a Center Innovation Fund

  January 21, 2012 | By Max Versace

  The CELEST Neuromorphics Lab has been awarded a 2011 NASA Langley Center Innovation Fund (CIF). The joint work between NASA Langley and the lab will focus on the development of neuromorphic algorithms for vision and learning in unmanned aerial vehicles. The purpose is to train autonomous vehicles to avoid collisions in the airspace based on learning in realistic virtual environments. The goal of this CIF is to next realize neuromorphic hardware for integration in aircraft.
