Overview
A simulated Mars rover that finds its own path across Mars-like terrain using a neuromorphic algorithm — a spiking wavefront planner — instead of standard pathfinding. The larger aim is bringing neuromorphic and analog computing, suited to the power and size limits of space hardware, into space robotics.
