Further to my previous post, there was in fact another comment which is perhaps more intriguing. I was hoping for a BrainChip connection, but have come up short. I'm sure there is something in here that I am missing. Or not

Anyone know anything about this guy Jonathon Wolfe? His LinkedIn activity is heavily linked to the Western Sydney University International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, Thale, Thales Alenia Space, Violet Defense, Australian Space Agency and Space Industry Association of Australia - I'm sure he fits in somehow

In a world-first, neuromorphic data has been sent back to Earth and successfully received from new cameras aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The two neuromorphic cameras are designed for earth observation and analysis of atmospheric events such as sprites – a high-altitude phenomenon caused by upward electrical discharges from thunderstorms. The cameras were developed as part of Project Falcon Neuro, a collaboration between the University of Western Sydney’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) and the United States Airforce Academy.
Western Sydney University’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Sweeney congratulated the ICNS team on their achievements.
“We are incredibly proud of our ICNS team and the University’s world-leading neuromorphic engineering research expertise, which is significantly strengthening Australia’s space industry capabilities,” said Professor Sweeney.
“Working with government, big-tech, as well as local and international research partners, we are helping to solve real-world challenges in the rapidly-evolving space industry. The success of Project Falcon Neuro further cements Western Sydney University’s reputation as a collaborative, young and innovative university with a growing international reach and a commitment to academic excellence and impact-driven research.”

The two new cameras aboard the ISS are neuromorphic, meaning their engineering is inspired by biology. Associate Professor Gregory Cohen, ICNS’s lead researcher on Project Falcon Neuro, says these ‘event-based’ cameras, as they are often called, are a completely different type of sensor that operates more like a biological eye than a conventional camera.
“These cameras don’t take pictures, but rather sense changes and only send those when they happen. This method of sensing the visual world allows them to perform tasks that simply cannot be done with a conventional camera,” said Associate Professor Cohen.
“Project Falcon Neuro is the first use of these sensors for earth observation from orbit, and the data received is the first neuromorphic data to be transmitted from space.”
Falcon Neuro was launched into space on 21 December 2021 to the International Space Station on the SpaceX CRS-24 resupply mission and then were installed on the ISS in January this year. One camera is positioned to point directly downward towards the Earth, and the other is pointing forward in the direction of motion of the ISS.
On the 24 of January, Falcon Neuro captured data as the ISS passed over the coastline of Honduras. The captured data was later streamed back to Earth and processed using algorithms developed by the ICNS team.
“The result we saw from the first resolved data image was fantastic. Although it may look like a normal image when we display it, the information was collected in a completely new and novel way,” said Associate Professor Cohen.
“This is only the first step. Now we know the cameras are working and operating in space, we can start using them for scientific experiments and further explore the incredible potential of these sensors and what they can do from orbit.”
Associate Professor Cohen said this is an enormous technological advancement that is vital for Australia’s space capabilities and growing space sector.
“It’s easy to lose sight of just how hard building things for space can be. There are so many technical challenges between the scientific goal and actually placing a working sensor in orbit. It’s really a testament to the absolutely fantastic engineering efforts by the technical team at ICNS and the cadets and faculty at US Air Force Academy,” he said.

I think I know the answer to this, but I would like for others more qualified to confirm. This is Akida on board, right?Wasn't it just last week that the nightly news showed the first images from event based neuromorphic technology bearing camera's from outer space?

This is an interesting paper regarding artificial cochlear advances.
It refers to the work being done by Brainchip very briefly and provides a reference. When you click on this reference here under https://asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1121/10.0009314#
It takes you to a paper by Turchin 2019 that is predicting the development of dangerous AGI in the next 10 to 20 years which is now 7 to 17 years away. We know that early last year 2021 Peter van der Made stated they had a working cortical column on the bench in Perth. AGi is coming???
Is the growing US military and NASA interest an indicator of how close Peter van der Made is to realising his ambition???

I have no idea what world events have in store for us this week. Putin has put his most brutal military leader in charge in Ukraine and chemical weapons could be on the agenda. For the sake of the Ukrainians I hope not.
This leads me to put a couple of solid gold facts on the Brainchip table.
1. Mercedes Benz is a customer.
2. Valeo is a customer.
3. NASA is a customer.
4. Vorago is a customer.
You have all read, watched and listened to a large amount of material from advertising to ASX price sensitive announcements supporting the above and no doubt many already accept these four statements as true.
However all of this material is simply window dressing as the CEO Sean Hehir by repeatedly publishing these four bodies as being “EARLY ADOPTERS” of AKIDA technology has publicly confirmed that they are customers.
The term ‘Early Adopter’ has an accepted definition in the business world and it is not a throw away line that can mean a range of different things.
Retail shareholders need to stand up and accept that success is now not tomorrow or the next day IT HAS ARRIVED.
Go and read what “EARLY ADOPTERS” are in the business world. There is no room for argument.
Unless the CEO Sean Hehir, Ken Scarince the CFO & Rob Telson the VP of Sales are all committing a fraud on the market they all four are customers using AKIDA technology.

And remember in Sean Hehir’s first presentation covering Mercedes Benz he actually referred to them as a customer of Brainchip.

While Tesla is no doubt an influential brand if Elon Musk was hit by a bus tomorrow the romance around the brand will suffer. It is a fact of life. When Warren Buffet passes on the same will happen.
This however is not the case for Mercedes Benz as it is not built on the charisma of one person.
The credibility of the Mercedes Benz brand around the world as an adopter and developer of game changing automotive technology is unparalleled.
I personally am possibly more excited about Mercedes Benz being a customer and adopting AKIDA technology than our German posters.
The signal to the automotive world that Mercedes’ Benz has given by publicly declaring it’s adoption of AKIDA has guaranteed success in my opinion.
I have linked the story of ABS brakes which is now ubiquitous thanks to Mercedes Benz and its partners but there are many other automotive technology advances that can be credited to this automotive legend:

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
I was just doing some light reading about Fraunhofer and The SEC-Learn (Sensor Edge Cloud for Federated Learning) project. The aim of this two and a half year project is to finally develop a working neuromorphic hardware accelerator and to integrate it in a hardware platform in conjunction with federated learning.
Now I'm wondering whether it is possible that Fraunhofer has incorporated Akida?
This research paper from Septmeber 2019 shows that they have been aware of BrainChip for some time. A translation (a very poor one) from page 54 states " There-through can thechips for "Reinforcement Learning"be set. on the other side but there is at subject training and hyper-parameterSelection for SNNs still numerous che open questions while with DNNs the knowledge is clear is more advanced. With the "Akida" from BrainChip is already one for 2019 commercial SNN chip announced, a larger number of products and Applications is only in some years to expect"
Also, sometime ago Mercedes posted on LinkedIn about the EQXX re solar technology on the roof of the car in which they collaborated with Fraunhofer.
In addition, we know that Fraunhofer are involved in the TEMPO Project with partners including AiCortex, University of Zurich (CH)Bosch, Infineon, Innosent,University of Dresden, Valeo, Videantis (DE)ST Microelectronics, Thales Alenia Space, Valeo (FR) Atogear, Imec-NL, Philips Health,Philips Research (NL).

Nope.
The captured data was later streamed back to Earth and processed using algorithms developed by the ICNS team.
The output from DVS cameras is inherently sparse, so this greatly reduces the amount of data to be transmitted to earth. There is no imperative to process the data on-board unless the data were to be required for on-board functions.
