For my bachelor thesis for Mechanical Engineering we where tasked to produce an event-based dataset for a quadrupedal robot. Lots of fancy words, but it basically means attach a new fancy camera to a robot dog. This event-based part comes from the camera, an event-based camera.

This camera has a non-traditional sensor, only capturing changes in light instead of a frame. This means events come in asynchronously, providing an almost instant perception of the world. More benefits include a much smaller datastream while keeping relevant information and the camera never over or underexposing, which could happen to robots when flying / walking into buildings or back outside.

It can be seen in the plot that event-based data is streamed continuously on a nanosecond scale.

The final report is shown below. Alternatively you can download it here and view the code here
