This live demonstration presents an audio-guided
neuromorphic robot: from a Neuromorphic Auditory Sensor
(NAS) to locomotion using Spiking Central Pattern Generators
(sCPGs). Several gaits are generated by sCPGs implemented
on a SpiNNaker board. The output of these sCPGs is sent
in a real-time manner to an Field Programmable Gate Array
(FPGA) board using an AER-to-SpiNN interface. The control
of the hexapod robot joints is performed by the FPGA board.
The robot behavior can be changed in real-time by means of
the NAS. The audio information is sent to the SpiNNaker board
which classifies it using a Spiking Neural Network (SNN). Thus,
the input sound will activate a specific gait pattern which will
eventually modify the behavior of the robot.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TEC2016-77785-
