<b><i>TL;DR: </i></b> This PhD subject focuses on the association between attention and spiking neural networks for defining new efficient AI models for embedded systems such as drones, robots and more generally autonomous systems. The thesis will take place
between the LEAT research lab in Sophia-Antipolis and the INT institute in Marseille which both develop complementary approaches on bio-inspired AI from neuroscience to embedded systems design. The application should include :</div>
<p>• Curriculum vitæ,</p>
<p>• Motivation Letter,</p>
