The address-event representation (AER) is a
neuromorphic communication protocol for transferring
asynchronous events between VLSI chips. The event
information is transferred using a high speed digital parallel
bus. This paper present an experiment based on AER for
visual sensing, processing and finally actuating a robot. The
AER output of a silicon retina is processed by an AER filter
implemented into a FPGA to produce a mimicking behaviour
in a humanoid robot (The RoboSapiens V2). We have
implemented the visual filter into the Spartan II FPGA of the
USB-AER platform and the Central Pattern Generator (CPG)
into the Spartan 3 FPGA of the AER-Robot platform, both
developed by authors.Unión Europea IST-2001-34124 (CAVIAR)Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIC-2003-08164-C03-0
