Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Great to see our project with @intel featured in today's @QUT media release! The project is about using their #neuromorphic Loihi 2 processor for ultra-low-power, highly adaptive #robot localization algorithms. With @Somayeh_HS and @maththrills @QUTRobotics twitter.com/QUT/status/157…
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Great to be attending @ResilResearcher's seminar with lots of tips+tricks to be a more #resilient #researcher, changing one's #mindset to be more positive by identifying strengths, being aware of the #impostor #syndrome and more! @QUTRobotics @QUT @Somayeh_HS @Scarlett_Raine_
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Last minute @ieee_ras_icra @ieee_ras_icra server issues. Glad we submitted our papers early :) @maththrills @Somayeh_HS @Stephen_Hausler @nikoSuenderhauf @DimityMiller
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Do you use #colmap in your research, maybe to get poses for your #localization pipeline or to train your #NeRF? I've done some work recently to make GPU-enabled #colmap available on @condaforge - simply "mamba install colmap". @nikoSuenderhauf @SattlerTorsten @sourav_garg_ #SfM
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Our joint director DProf Peter Corke kicking off our #robotics #PhD recruitment event. Application deadline coming up soon (31 July international students, 31 August domestic students). Get in touch if interested! Projects: bit.ly/3Nlk0st
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Oh no, it seems like I have gotten a reputation as Reviewer #2 😆. Watch out @wacv_official authors ;).
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Tobi^2 - great to see @TobiDelbruck again and to participate as one of the #neuromorphs in #telluride, it's a real privilege :)
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics What a blast of a week! First a paper acceptance by @Scarlett_Raine_ to the @ieeeras #Robotics & #Automation #Letters, then opening @maththrills @arc_gov_au #Laureate Fellowship celebrations and now in #Telluride for the #Neuromorphic workshop.

Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics In a range of experiments on four challenging datasets, we show that our spiking net achieves comparable performance to the #SoTA, and degrades gracefully in performance with an increasing number of reference places. 4/n
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics But place recognition is a harder problem with many more classes. To deal with this, we introduce a novel weighted assignment scheme using ambiguity-informed #salience: Does a #neuron represent (i.e. fire for) just a single place or multiple places? 3/n
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics We considered #placerecognition as a #classification task: Which of N places is the robot in, given significant appearance change since last observing this place? Classification has long been studied with spiking nets, e.g. in digit recognition. 2/n
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics First work trip since arriving @QUT in @brisbanecityqld. Excited like a small child! Immediate throwbacks seeing #finalcall signs before boarding even started. Many thanks to @Exaptec for inviting me to speak at the #Generate22 #robotics & #AI conference in @Melbourne
Tobias Fischer@TobiasRobotics Here we go: @rosorg #ROS2 on a new shiny @Apple M1 Silicon (osx-arm64) thanks to @RoboStack and @condaforge. Still not quite ready for the public (some issues in the installation process), but we are nearly there! Stay tuned and follow @RoboStack to get updates.
