I do place a heavy weight on my car seat, but it is widely distributed and well padded.
Incidentally, from a Continental European or American perspective, you are indeed placing it on the front passenger seat, then. 😉

You ok there m8? You sound like the fellow from Harry Potter who didn’t get as many birthday presents as he had expected.
Yes M8, I am just fine and don’t you worry none about my Birthday Presents I expect more than expected – I just had sumthin to say, I tend to do that when people are getting the shit beaten out of them for no good reason.

You may have misunderstood my post....... :cool:

BURLINGTON, Mass. Radar and AI sensing company launched MatrixSpace Radar, the first in a series of AI sensing products aimed at enabling cost-effective, long-distance sensing, tracking, monitoring, and inspection solutions.​

According to the company's announcement, MatrixSpace Radar combines sensing, real-time AI edge processing, and RF communication in a package the size of a cellphone to equip large-scale use cases, such as semi-autonomous mobile platforms, general aviation, and portable or fixed systems. Digitizing the outdoors is the ability to measure the size, location, and movement of objects in time, shifting reliance from human sensing to a far more detailed recognition of objects and their movements.

Greg Waters, cofounder and CEO of MatrixSpace, says of the product introduction: “We’re bringing high-performance radar and AI sensing products to mainstream industries that have never even considered their use. Our radar architecture represents a completely different way for customers across a variety of industries to digitize the outdoors, then using AI to inform them of exactly what’s out there. It’s a radically new level of situational awareness.”

10 IoT chipset and edge trends visible at Embedded World 2023​


2. A new AI design cycle for embedded devices is emerging​

The embedded community is getting ready for hardware and devices supporting AI/ML execution at the edge. This means massive hardware design changes and complexity and an increased software stack complexity. AI hardware development company BrainChip showcased its new Akida AI processor IP that integrates with Arm’s new Cortex-M85 for handling advanced machine learning workloads at the edge. Chipmaker Renesas is one of the clients of Akida AI that showcased AI running on Arm Cortex-M85. AI-based machine vision applications are one of the driving forces of AI adoption at this point. Adlink Technologies and Vision Components, for example, showcased their respective new AI camera solutions that are capable of deploying large AI algorithms on their equipment.

Has anyone else stumbled upon this 3 year EU-funded research project called Nimble AI, kick-started in November 2022, that “aims to unlock the potential of neuromorphic vision?“ Couldn’t find anything here on TSE with the help of the search function except a reference to US-based company Nimble Robotics, but they seem totally unrelated.

The 19 project partners include imec in Leuven (Belgium) as well as Paris-based GrAI Matter Labs, highly likely Brainchip’s most serious competitor, according to other posters.

An article about Nimble AI’s ambitious project was published today:

What do you make of of the consortium’s claim that their 3D neuromorphic vision chip will have more than an edge over Akida once it will be ready to hit the market? 🤔


NimbleAI: Ultra-Energy Efficient and Secure Neuromorphic Sensing and Processing at the Endpoint​

“Today only very light AI processing tasks are executed in ubiquitous IoT endpoint devices, where sensor data are generated and access to energy is usually constrained. However, this approach is not scalable and results in high penalties in terms of security, privacy, cost, energy consumption, and latency as data need to travel from endpoint devices to remote processing systems such as data centres. Inefficiencies are especially evident in energy consumption.
To keep up pace with the exponentially growing amount of data (e.g. video) and allow more advanced, accurate, safe and timely interactions with the surrounding environment, next-generation endpoint devices will need to run AI algorithms (e.g. computer vision) and other compute intense tasks with very low latency (i.e. units of ms or less) and energy envelops (i.e. tens of mW or less).
NimbleAI will harness the latest advances in microelectronics and integrated circuit technology to create an integral neuromorphic sensing-processing solution to efficiently run accurate and diverse computer vision algorithms in resource- and area-constrained chips destined to endpoint devices. Biology will be a major source of inspiration in NimbleAI, especially with a focus to reproduce adaptivity and experience-induced plasticity that allow biological structures to continuously become more efficient in processing dynamic visual stimuli.
NimbleAI is expected to allow significant improvements compared to state-of-the-art (e.g. commercially available neuromorphic chips), and at least 100x improvement in energy efficiency and 50x shorter latency compared to state-of-the-practice (e.g. CPU/GPU/NPU/TPUs processing frame-based video). NimbleAI will also take a holistic approach for ensuring safety and security at different architecture levels, including silicon level.”


What I find a little odd, though, is that this claim re expected superiority over “state-of-the-art (e.g. commercially available neuromorphic chips)“ doesn’t get any mention on the official Nimble AI website (https://www.nimbleai.eu/), in contrast to the expectation of “at least 100x improvement in energy efficiency and 50x shorter latency compared to state-of-the-practice (e.g. CPU/GPU/NPU/TPUs Processing Frame-based Video).”

Here’s an interview from Socionext CEO. It’s only a general overview where he wants to take the company in relation to the end of Moores Law. Brainchip not directly mentioned. I find the opinions of those running the companies of value.

I wish akida was offered at the University I attend here in Australia. Many of us computer science students would enjoy the challenge and new tech.

What do you make of of the consortium’s claim that their 3D neuromorphic vision chip will have more than an edge over Akida once it will be ready to hit the market?

It's genuinely 100% meaningless until it is compared against other products using the same benchmarking frameworks and use case scenarios.

I think by the time they commercialize this (in 2.5 years at the earliest?) then we will have released more advanced versions of AKIDA. Also interesting that our supposed main competitor requires the help of a consortium to try and stay in touch. This for me confirms one thing - we are a minimum of 3 years ahead of the competition. Like Sean said once a customer chooses our tech they'll be with us for decades. That's why nailing down IP contracts is getting more and more urgent.
