Workshop 5

Presenting recent progress on multiple visual neural systems integration and coordination with both simulation and robotics approaches, relevant to WP2 and WP4.

Task 5.4 The STEP2DYNA Workshop Five was hosted by Guangzhou University (GZHU) at the Baiyun Hotel in Guangzhou, China. It took place on the 22^nd January 2019. The workshop focused on the recent progress on multiple visual neural systems integration and coordination with both simulation and robotics approaches, and chip realization relevant to WP2 and WP4.

The workshop provided partners with an opportunity to share their progress on the milestones and deliverables. In addition to this, a number of presentations were delivered by partner leads, researchers, and students as listed below. Presenters were able to demonstrate their research and share learning with others. This also facilitated discussion and Q & A. In the evening, attendees had the opportunity to further network and share ideas.
