A cellular hardware implementation of a spiking neural network with run-time reconfigurable connectivity is presented. It is implemented on a compact custom FPGA board which provides a powerful reconfigurable hardware platform for hardware and software design. Complementing the system, a CPU synthesized on the FPGA takes care of interfacing the network with the external world. The FPGA board and the hardware network are demonstrated in the form of a controller embedded on the Khepera robot for a task of obstacle avoidance. Finally, future implementations on new multi-cellular hardware are discussed.
