Abstract
A computer implemented method for controlling a system moving through an environment includes receiving a stream of event data from an event camera, the stream of event data representing a pixel location, a time stamp, and a polarity for each event detected by the event camera. A compressed representation of the stream of data is generated. The compressed representation is provided to a neural network model trained on prior compressed representations using reinforcement learning to learn actions for controlling the system. A control action is generated via the neural network model to control the movement of the system.
