Abstract
The recent success of AI comes at the price of high data and power demands. However, this success also rekindled a lot of interest in revisiting biology to explore and develop novel bio-inspired sensor and computing architectures, promising to not only reduce the power and data footprints of current technologies, but also uncover novel paradigms and technologies altogether. In this chapter, we review the potential opportunities of emerging neuromorphic technologies for edge computing and learning in space, focusing on preliminary results in the areas of event-based sensing, spiking neural networks and neuromorphic hardware for onboard applications.
