Welcome to the NCS lab web pages!
We are a group of a researchers in the EECS school at the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm, Sweden. Our research interests are in the intersection of neuroscience, computer science, and robotics, with a particular focus on neuromorphic computing and event-based vision. We are fascinated by how we can draw inspiration from the brain to develop more efficient and more capable computing systems, especially for applications in robotics and autonomous systems.
Here, you find information about our research, teaching, publications, and other activities in the lab. Our work often involves using event-based cameras and spiking neural networks to solve challenging problems in areas like object tracking, scene understanding, and robotic control. Feel free to browse through the projects and the publications, which highlight our work in these exciting areas. We are always eager to connect with other researchers and students interested in similar topics, so please don't hesitate to reach out!
Our research mission
How does thinking work? How do we interpret what we see, hear, smell, and touch? – and how do we decide what we do and how we do it in the world around us? This is one of today's greatest mysteries in science.
Looking at small animals with tiny brains, we get the impression that they act effortlessly in the world, forage for food, and return home safely. In contrast, today's carefully hand-designed computers and robots with all available sensors and processing power are hardly able to successfully perform such simple behaviors. The world is too complex and too ambiguous to get interpreted reliably with contemporary algorithms in real-time and under energy constraints.
We investigate in which fundamental principles information processing in brains differs from information processing performed by current computing algorithms; and we impement principles of neural computation in technology to advance today's engineered systems.
