A power packet dispatching system is proposed to realize the function of power on demand. This system distributes electrical power in quantized form, which is called power processing. This system has extensibility and flexibility. Here, we propose to use the power packet dispatching system as the next generation power distribution system in self-established and closed system such as robots, cars, and aircrafts. This paper introduces the concept and the required researches to take the power packet dispatching system in practical phase from the total viewpoints of devices, circuits, power electronics, system control, computer network, and bio-inspired power consumption.

We propose a motion detection model, which is suitable for higher speed operation than the video rate, inspired by the neuronal propagation in the hippocampus in the brain. The model detects motion of edges, which are extracted from monocular image sequences, on specified 2D maps without image matching. We introduce gating units into a CA3-CA1 model, where CA3 and CA1 are the names of hippocampal regions. We use the function of gating units to reduce mismatching for applying our model in complicated situations. We also propose a map-division method to achieve accurate detection. We have evaluated the performance of the proposed model by using artificial and real image sequences. The results show that the proposed model can run up to 1.0 ms/frame if using a resolution of 6460 units division of 320240 pixels image. The detection rate of moving edges is achieved about 99% under a complicated situation. We have also verified that the proposed model can achieve accurate detection of approaching objects at high frame rate (>100 fps), which is better than conventional models, provided we can obtain accurate positions of image features and filter out the origins of false positive results in the post-processing.
