Abstract Biologically inspired spiking neural networks are increasingly popular in the field of artificial intelligence due to their ability solve complex problems while being power efficient. They do so by leveraging timing discrete spikes as main information carrier. Though, industrial applications still lacking, partially because question how encode incoming data into spike events cannot be uniformly answered. In this paper, we summarise signal encoding schemes presented literature and...

Image restoration aims to reconstruct the latent sharp image from its corrupted counterpart. Besides dealing with this long-standing task in spatial domain, a few approaches seek solutions frequency domain by considering large discrepancy between spectra of sharp/degraded pairs. However, these algorithms commonly utilize transformation tools, e.g., wavelet transform, split features into several parts, which is not flexible enough select most informative component recover. In paper, we...

In many future joint-action scenarios, humans and robots will have to interact physically in order successfully cooperate. Ideally, seamless human-robot interaction should not require training for the human, but be intuitively simple. Nonetheless, cooperation involve some degree of learning adaptation. Here, we report on a simple case physical interaction, hand-over task. Even such basic task as manually handing over an object from one agent another requires that both partners agree upon...
