Lava-peripherals is a library to the open-source framework Lava that adds support for peripheral devices such as cameras or robotic actuators. Lava enables users to develop neuro-inspired applications and map them to neuromorphic hardware. It provides tools and abstractions to develop applications that fully exploit the principles of neural computation.
- Dynamic Vision Cameras
- Metavision
- Inivation (coming soon)
- Intel RealSense cameras
- Robotic actuators (to be planned)
Lava-peripherals currently requires Linux and does not support Windows or MacOS.
Lava-peripherals is flexible with the dependency on the libraries for the peripheral hardware and requires only those to be installed which are used.
The PropheseeCamera Process, requires the metavision-sdk v4.0.0 or newer to be installed.
The RealSense Process, requires the Intel® RealSense™ SDK v2.0 and the Python wrapper pyrealsense2 to be
installed.
Lava-peripherals requires Python version 3.9 or newer; for installation either pip or poetry is required.
