Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is a brain-inspired computing paradigm that operates on pseudo-random hypervectors, an information-rich, hardware-efficient representation that is robust to noise and facilitates learning with limited training data. This work explores how robot navigation tasks can leverage the high-capacity hypervector representation to enable behavioral prioritization through a w...
