Below is the final edition I’ll be sending. After more than three years the grant funding the NeuroPAC website and bulletin is coming to an end. It will be up and updated for an additional month or two, and then — hopefully — will morph into something new, staffed by a new editorial team.

In the meantime, on behalf of myself and the other contributors — Cornelia Fermuller, Snehesh Shrestha, Giulia D’Angelo, Nikhil Garg, Mazdak Fatahi, Steven Abreu, and Botao He — I just wanted to thank you for your participation.

Do keep in touch!

April 2026 Accelerating Research on Neuromorphic Perception, Action, and Cognition Events See more neuromorphic engineering events  here In the News BrainChip neuromorphic AI for industrial sensing imc, 6 April 2026 Neuromorphic computing specialist BrainChip has launched a reference platform for battery-powered industrial sensors and wearables. The AkidaTag platform uses neuromorphic AI to enable always-on sensing and on-device learning without requiring a cloud connection. The system is designed for remote industrial environments where sensors must interpret data locally to preserve battery life and privacy. By using event-based digital processing, the platform can… UK physicists’ brain-inspired chip could make AI systems 2,000 times more energy efficient Interesting Engineering, 5 April 2026 Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed a new computer chip that could make some artificial intelligence (AI) systems far more energy efficient. Developed by Loughborough University physicists, the device can process data that changes over time directly in hardware, rather than relying on software running on conventional computers. Researchers claimed that the approach can be up to 2,000 times more energy efficient than conventional software-based methods in some tasks, though the exact gains… How to Measure the Intelligence of Nature-Inspired Robots? Study with First Author from CTU FEE Proposes a New Evaluation Framework Czech technical University in Prague, 24 March 2026 How can we compare robots that are expected to move flexibly, safely, and energy-efficiently in dynamic environments? A new international study titled A Benchmarking Framework for Embodied Neuromorphic Agents, published in the prestigious journal Nature Machine Intelligence, offers an answer. Researchers from institutions in Czechia, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States,… Can the Nvidia Monopoly on AI Chips Be Broken? EE Times Current, 16 March 2026 In this latest episode of Brains and Machines, EE Times Senior Reporter Sally Ward-Foxton talks to Dr. Sunny Bains of the University College London. They discuss  the importance of power in all AI systems, the benefit of having dedicated inference chips, and where neuromorphic fits into the market. Discussion follows with Dr. Giulia D’Angelo from the Czech Technical University in Prague and Professor Ralph Etienne-Cummings of Johns Hopkins University.
