Many thanks to my co-organizers present today at the workshop: Arren Glover, Giulia D'Angelo and Prof. Dr. Yulia Sandamirskaya and the ones who couldn't be present but helped during the preparation: Tobi Delbruck, Sebastian Otte, Luca Peres, and Jingyue Zhao.

After a debate, we were happy to announce two best paper awards. One to the paper "Depth Estimation from Moving Stereo Event Cameras without Motion Cues" and one to the work "On-Device Self-Supervised Learning of Low-Latency Monocular Depth from Only Events".

Next, our rising star speakers Luna Gava and Suman Ghosh presented some work of their PhD.

After an engaging poster and demo session, Guido De Croon and Jorg Conradt both shared their perspectives of how neuromorohic perception can be used and showed some of their latest research.

I'm super happy that our #NeuRobots workshop at #IROS2025 turned out to be a great community gathering for researchers working on or interested in neuromorohic perception and processing.

The workshop started with Mina A Khoei from SynSense sharing the industry perspective.

How are you dealing with this challenge?

Andreas Ziegler @andreasziegler.bsky.social · 17d

this puts me in an internal conflict of needs.
For now, I acknowledge this conflict and try to spend as much time at my destination of travel.
When I flew to the U.S. in summer, I attended 2 conferences, presented 3 papers and traveled for 2.5 weeks.
After IROS I will travel for 2-3 weeks.

I'm on my way to #IROS in Hangzhou. While I love to meet colleagues from all over the world, appreciate being exposed to robotics research for a whole week, I'm also aware of the environmental impact of my academic "lifestyle".
Having been active in the climate justice movement and being a Quaker...

We have a strong lineup of speakers. With Mina A Khoei from @synsense.bsky.social we have a senior speaker from industry. Guido De Croon and Jorg Conradt will present their work and perspective as senior academics. I'm happy that we also have two rising star speakers, Luna Gava and Suman Ghosh.

Although the topics of sea rescue and political problems are not easy, we also had lighter times, e.g., during the many meals we had together.

Andreas Ziegler @andreasziegler.bsky.social · 28d

To make a small contribution on our own, we helped to clean the crew house of the Compass Collective, so that the next crew has a fresh and clean start.

Andreas Ziegler @andreasziegler.bsky.social · 28d

Although the primary goal of the Compass Collective is political work, they also frequently rescue people. In summary: the European governments/the EU is failing to do their job. But instead of helping sea rescue organizations, they make their work even harder.

On Sunday last week, we went to Licata, where we met the Compass Collective. We got an introduction into their work and their sailing boat.

We started with texts, a documentary, and a lot of sharing and discussions.

Andreas Ziegler @andreasziegler.bsky.social · 28d

What a time. On Saturday last week, a group of (young) Friends met in Catania to get more insights about the Mediterranean sea rescue and the current (political) situation.

I would say yes. It puts a name and a date on the idea. Waiting for an acceptance might take a few attempts.

I'm always happy when people talk publicly about the importance of mental health (especially in academia).
I recently re-started psychotherapy myself and despite the energy it takes for this internal work, it feels good to get a better understanding of my thoughts and patterns.

Ich bin ein starker Befürworter für Französisch als erste Fremdsprache in der Deutsch-Schweiz. Englisch lernt man sowieso wenn man es braucht (Ich hatte Englisch erst ab der 7. Klasse und kommuniziere dennoch fliessend tagtäglich auf der Arbeit).
Beim Französisch sieht das anders aus.

After a bit more than 10 hours we made it back safely and with a few more lessons learned.

Often the way down is more tricky than the way up to the summit.

Improvisation on the rock as in real life (and in research).

After some (boring) hiking, the interesting part started. A snow field up to the start of the alpine climbing.

Today's tour to Wasenhorn started early at 6:00 after some driving from ZH.

Night trains are a very convenient way of travel. If the market wouldn't be skewed (no tax on kerosine and external costs), trains might even be the financially more interesting choice. Then there is only an online system missing to book trains across whole Europe with guaranteed connections.

We even got some rain, motivation to not move too slowly.
