Learning to the Top 🕵‍♂️


So, the European Space Agency’s had make contact with Brainchip 4 years ago, and had been engaged ever since.

Say no more!

I'm dreaming of the new quantum phones, quantum computers, starlink satellites, med beds, the new quantum monetary system, the block chain voting system, free energy, border wall, hydrogen cars, beneficial AI that the military are using to bring down the global cabal.... I believe BRN is involved in it all. When you know, you know 😏

Leevon, I do believe I'm being beknownced along with you, and quite a few others IMHO.

So many possibilities, the intrigue, Oh, the joy, that is being offered here, is astounding, even in my diminishing thought processes and spiking moments, that still occur from time to time.

The future, is developing isn't it ?

Akida Ballista >>>>> Here's to the FUTURE ;)🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 😉 <<<<<

Here's a question, probably for Diogenes (unless this is so obvious and I'm missing something soooo simple.)
Why is cooling an issue in space when for the most part it's close to absolute zero?

Holding onto what I've got

42 min mark,

Discussion around readiness for technology. TRL 1 to 9.

The levels for testing Brainchip has to go through just to be used in space means that is well beyond a concept or 'meme stock'

European Space Agency would have already invested hours of research before even thinking about the next practical use or testing steps, the fact we are even talking to them or NASA is huge, these two are not in the business to gamble on a chance.

Can ANYONE make out the name of the company we are taping out with "before the end of the year" with comments from the companies "in the coming months"?? that thick french accent has me beaten!
circa 48minute mark!

What a fantastic podcast, great discussion absolutely worth a listen!

Yes!!! Frontgrade Gaisler!

One day someone will come across a LinkedIn like that actually means something..

👇🏻 See my Feb 6 post ! 😊

And finally an intriguing like by Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler. Alf Kuchenbuch himself had recently liked a post by that Swedish company (which had come up in my dot-joining efforts before, by the way, although I can’t recall the context) - see my TSE post here:

Not surprisingly, also likes from University of Luxembourg’s SnT researchers Jorge Querol and Swetha Varadarajulu…

And interestingly even a 👍🏻 for Gregor Lenz’s start-up Neurobus… And one more from another Brainchip employee - Gilles Bézard (remember my post yesterday? Gilles and Gregor are both on the scientific committee for the inaugural SPAICE 2024 conference). Oh, hang on, and Wouter Benoot, CTO of the Belgian SpaceTech company EDGX likes this post as well! (https://brainchip.com/edgx-announce...sruptive-data-processing-solutions-for-space/)
Are they all just a happy European space tech family, liking each others’ posts, or is there more to it after all? 🤔 Just when I thought that Neurobus was no longer a realistic dot join for the time being…

Here's a question, probably for Diogenes (unless this is so obvious and I'm missing something soooo simple.)
Why is cooling an issue in space when for the most part it's close to absolute zero?
It's a vacuum - in space no one can hear you freezing.

There is no convection (air cooling). You would need radiant cooling.

That could require active cooling such as a refrigeration system with external radiator.

I'n no expert... but maybe the heat is just wasted energy/inefficient use of power... the available power is most likely pretty scarce and needs to be used wisely?

I would think that with any temperature differential between 0° K and any heat gain due to compute processing power should largely be offset.
No doubt you are right though, as radiant dispersal would largely be related to suface area, and that is mass.

Those of you who have taken a closer look at the global neuromorphic research community will likely have come across the annual Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop, a three week project-based meeting in eponymous Telluride, a charming former Victorian mining town in the Rocky Mountain high country of southwestern Colorado. Nestled in a deep glacial valley, Telluride sits at an elevation of 8750 ft (2667 m) and is surrounded by majestic rugged peaks. Truly a scenic location for a workshop.

The National Science Foundation (NSF), which has continuously supported the Telluride Workshop since its beginnings in the 1990s, described it in a 2023 announcement as follows: It “will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from academia and industry, including engineers, computer scientists, neuroscientists, behavioral and cognitive scientists (…) The annual three-week hands-on, project-based meeting is organized around specific topic areas to explore organizing principles of neural cognition that can inspire implementation in artificial systems. Each topic area is guided by a group of experts who will provide tutorials, lectures and hands-on project guidance.”

The topic areas for the 2024 Telluride Neuromorphic Workshop are now online. As every year, the list of topic leaders and invited speakers includes the crème de la crème of neuromorphic researchers from all over the world. While no one from Brainchip has made the invited speakers’ list (at least not to date), I was extremely pleased to notice that Akida will be featured nevertheless! It has taken the academic neuromorphic community ages to take Brainchip seriously (cf my previous post on Open Neuromorphic: https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-404235), but here we are, finally getting acknowledged alongside the usual suspects:

Some readers will now presumably shrug their shoulders and consider this mention of Brainchip in a workshop programme as being insignificant as opposed to those coveted commercial announcements. To me, however, the inclusion of Brainchip at Telluride marks a milestone.

Also keep in mind what NSF Program Director Soo-Siang Lim said about Telluride (see link above): “This workshop has a long and successful track-record of advancing and integrating our understanding of biological and artificial systems of learning. Many collaborations catalyzed by the workshop have led to significant technology innovations, and the training of future industry and academic leaders.”

I’d just love to know who of the four topic leaders and/or co-organisers had suggested to include Brainchip for their hands-on project “Processing space-based data using neuromorphic computing hardware” (and whether this was readily agreed on or not):

Was it one of the two colleagues from Western Sydney University’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS)? Gregory Cohen (who is responsible for Astrosite, WSU’s containerised neuromorphic inspired mobile telescope observatory as well as for the modification of the two neuromorphic cameras on the ISS as part of the USAFA Falcon Neuro project) or Alexandre Marcireau?

Or was it Gregor Lenz, who left Synsense in mid-2023 to co-found Neurobus (“At Neurobus we’re harnessing the power of neuromorphic computing to transform space technology”) and is also one of the co-founders of the Open Neuromorphic community? He was one of the few live viewers of Cristian Axenie’s January 15 online presentation on the TinyML Vision Zero San Jose Competition (where his TH Nürnberg team, utilising Akida for their event-based visual motion detection and tracking of pedestrians, had come runner-up), and asked a number of intriguing questions about Akida during the live broadcast.

Or was it possibly Jens Egholm Pedersen, the Danish doctoral student at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden’s largest technical university, who hosted said presentation by Cristian Axenie on the Open Neuromorphic YouTube channel and appeared to be genuinely impressed about Akida (and the Edge Impulse platform), too?

Oh, and last, but not least:
Our CTO Anthony M Lewis aka Tony Lewis has been to Telluride numerous times: the workshop website lists him as one of the early participants back in 1996 (when he was with UCLA’s Computer Science Department) - no info is given on those attending the workshop in the first three years of its existence 1993-1995. Tony Lewis is subsequently listed as a guest speaker for the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 workshops (in his then capacity as the founder of Iguana Robotics) - information on the participants between 2006 - 2009 as well as for the year 2011 is marked as “lost”. In 2019, Tony Lewis had once again been invited as either topic leader or guest speaker, but according to the website could not come.

So I guess there is a good chance we will see him return to Telluride one day, this time as CTO of Brainchip, catching up with a lot old friends and acquaintances, many of whom he also keeps in touch with via his extensive LinkedIn network, so they’d definitely know what he’s been up to.

As I said in another post six weeks ago:
Hi Frang

Agree regarding the good strides made in respect to Open Neuromorphic.

I have been in their discord channel for a long time now, before they even had a website up.

Jason and Fabrizio have been strongly against akida for a long time now and it seems to me its purely because of the vocal shareholder fan base that Brainchip has which they dont see with other company's in the neuromorphic space are private companies, not listed.

I am happy to say their website was updated recently and there's a lot more information on akida: https://open-neuromorphic.org/neuromorphic-computing/hardware/akida-brainchip/

Cheers!
