Here is a recent interview with Florian Corgnou, CEO of BrainChip partner Neurobus, which was conducted in the run-up to the 12 June INPI* Pitch Contest at Viva Technology 2025, during which five start-ups competed against each other. Neurobus ended up winning the pitch contest by “showcasing our vision for low-power, bio-inspired edge AI for autonomous systems” (see above post by @itsol4605).
*INPI France is the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle, France’s National Intellectual Property Office.
In this interview, Florian Corgnou mentions NeurOS, an embedded operating system that Neurobus is developing internally. Interesting…
“CF: Traditional AI, based on the deep learning [2], is computationally, data-intensive and energy-intensive. However, the equipment we equip – satellites, micro-drones, fully autonomous robots – operates in environments where these resources are rare, or even absent.
So we adopted a frugal AI, designed from the ground up to work with little: little data (thanks to event cameras), little energy (thanks to neuromorphic chips), and little memory.
This forces us to rethink the entire design chain: from hardware to algorithms, including the embedded operating system that we develop internally, NeurOS.”
I found another reference to NeurOS here: https://dealroom.launchvic.org/companies/neurobus/
MORE ABOUT NEUROBUS
Neurobus is pioneering a new era of ultra-efficient, autonomous intelligence for drones and satellites. Leveraging neuromorphic computing, an AI inspired by the brain’s structure and energy efficiency, our edge AI systems empower aerial and orbital platforms to perceive, decide, and act in real-time, with minimal power consumption and maximum autonomy.
Traditional AI architectures struggle in constrained environments, such as low-Earth orbit or on-board UAVs, where power, weight, and bandwidth are critical limitations. Neurobus addresses this with a disruptive approach: combining event-based sensors with neuromorphic processors that mimic biological neural networks. This unique integration enables fast, asynchronous data processing, up to 100 times more power-efficient than conventional methods, while preserving situational awareness in extreme or dynamic conditions.
Our embedded AI systems are designed to meet the needs of next-generation autonomous platforms in aerospace, defense, and space. From precision drone navigation in GPS-denied environments to on-orbit space surveillance and threat detection, Neurobus technology supports missions where latency, energy, and reliability matter most.
We offer a modular technology stack that includes hardware integration, a proprietary neuromorphic operating system (NeurOS), and real-time perception algorithms. This enables end-users and integrators to accelerate the deployment of innovative, autonomous capabilities at the edge without compromising performance or efficiency.
Backed by deeptech expertise, partnerships with leading sensor manufacturers, and strategic collaborations in the aerospace sector, Neurobus is building the foundation for intelligent autonomy across air and space.
Our mission is to unlock the full potential of edge autonomy with brain-inspired AI, starting with drones and satellites, and scaling to all autonomous systems.

NEUROBUS : une IA embarquée qui consomme très peu d’énergie
Grâce à une intelligence artificielle sobre et efficiente, Neurobus réinvente, entre Toulouse et Paris, la façon dont les machines perçoivent et interagissent avec leur environnement, ouvrant ainsi la voie vers la conquête des milieux hostiles. Florian Corgnou, son dirigeant et fondateur, nous en dit un peu plus sur cette start-up de la Deeptech qu’il présentera à Viva Technology, lors du Pitch Contest INPI organisé en partenariat avec HEC Paris.
Pouvez-vous vous présenter en quelques mots ?
Florian Corgnou : Je m’appelle Florian Corgnou, fondateur et CEO de Neurobus, une start-up deeptech que j’ai créée en 2023, entre Paris et Toulouse. Diplômé d’HEC, j’ai fondé une première entreprise dans le secteur du logiciel financier avant de rejoindre le siège européen de Tesla aux Pays-Bas. J’y ai travaillé sur des problématiques d’innovation et de stratégie produit.
Avec Neurobus, je me consacre à une mission : concevoir des systèmes embarqués d’intelligence artificielle neuromorphique, une technologie bio-inspirée qui réinvente la façon dont les machines perçoivent et interagissent avec leur environnement. Cette approche radicalement sobre et efficiente de l’IA ouvre des perspectives inédites pour les applications critiques dans la défense, le spatial, et la robotique autonome.
Notre conviction, c’est que l’autonomie embarquée ne peut émerger qu’en conciliant performance, sobriété énergétique et intelligence contextuelle, même dans les environnements les plus contraints, comme l’espace, les drones légers ou les missions en zones isolées.
Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise innovante ?
F.C. : Neurobus se distingue par l’intégration de technologies neuromorphiques, c’est-à-dire une IA capable de fonctionner en temps réel avec une consommation énergétique ultra-faible, à l’image du cerveau humain.
Nous combinons des caméras événementielles[1] avec des processeurs neuromorphiques pour traiter directement à la source des signaux complexes, sans avoir besoin d’envoyer toutes les données dans le cloud.
Ce changement de paradigme permet une autonomie décisionnelle embarquée inédite, essentielle dans les applications critiques comme la détection de missiles ou la surveillance orbitale.
Florian Corgnou, fondateur et CEO de Neurobus©
Vous avez choisi une IA sobre, adaptée aux contraintes de son environnement. Pourquoi ce choix et en quoi cela change-t-il la façon de concevoir vos solutions ?
F.C. : L’IA traditionnelle, basée sur le deep learning [2], est gourmande en calcul, en données et en énergie. Or, les matériels que nous équipons — satellites, micro-drones, robots en autonomie complète — évoluent dans des environnements où ces ressources sont rares, voire absentes.
Nous avons donc adopté une IA frugale, conçue dès le départ pour fonctionner avec peu : peu de données (grâce aux caméras événementielles), peu d’énergie (grâce aux puces neuromorphiques), et peu de mémoire.
Cela nous force à repenser toute la chaîne de conception : du matériel jusqu’aux algorithmes, en passant par le système d’exploitation embarqué que nous développons en interne, le NeurOS.
Quel est le plus gros défi auquel vous avez dû faire face au cours du montage de votre projet ?
F.C. : L’un des plus grands défis a été de convaincre nos premiers partenaires et financeurs que notre technologie, bien qu’encore émergente, pouvait surpasser les approches conventionnelles.
Cela impliquait de créer de la confiance sans produit final, de prouver la valeur de notre approche avec des démonstrateurs très en amont, et de naviguer dans des écosystèmes exigeants comme le spatial ou la défense, où la crédibilité technologique et la propriété intellectuelle sont clés.
Votre prise en compte de la propriété industrielle a-t-elle été naturelle ? Quel rôle a joué l’INPI ?
F.C. : Dès le début, nous avons compris que la propriété industrielle serait un levier stratégique essentiel pour valoriser notre R&D et protéger notre avantage technologique.
Cela a été naturel, car notre innovation se situe à l’intersection du hardware, du software et des algorithmes.
L’INPI nous a accompagnés dans cette démarche, en nous aidant à structurer notre propriété industrielle — brevets, marques, enveloppes Soleau… — et à mieux comprendre les enjeux liés à la valorisation de l’innovation dans un contexte européen.

NEUROBUS: an on-board AI that consumes very little energy
Using a simple and efficient artificial intelligence (AI), Neurobus is reinventing the way machines perceive and interact with their environment between Toulouse and Paris, paving the way for conquering hostile environments. Florian Corgnou, its director and founder, tells us a little more about this Deeptech startup, which he will present at Viva Technology during the INPI Pitch Contest organized in partnership with HEC Paris.
Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Florian Corgnou: My name is Florian Corgnou, founder and CEO of Neurobus, a start-up deeptech which I created in 2023, between Paris and Toulouse. A graduate of HEC, I founded my first company in the financial software sector before joining Tesla's European headquarters in the Netherlands. There, I worked on innovation and product strategy issues.
With Neurobus, I'm dedicated to a mission: to design embedded neuromorphic artificial intelligence systems, a bio-inspired technology that reinvents the way machines perceive and interact with their environment. This radically sober and efficient approach to AI opens up unprecedented perspectives for critical applications in defense, space, and autonomous robotics.
Our belief is that on-board autonomy can only emerge by reconciling performance, energy efficiency and contextual intelligence, even in the most constrained environments, such as space, light drones or missions in isolated areas.
What makes your company innovative?
CF: Neurobus stands out for its integration of neuromorphic technologies, i.e., an AI capable of operating in real time with ultra-low energy consumption, like the human brain.
We combine event cameras[1] with neuromorphic processors to process complex signals directly at the source, without needing to send all the data into the cloud.
This paradigm shift enables unprecedented on-board decision-making autonomy, essential in critical applications such as missile detection or orbital surveillance.
Florian Corgnou, founder and CEO of Neurobus©
You've chosen a simple AI, adapted to the constraints of its environment. Why this choice, and how does it change the way you design your solutions?
CF: Traditional AI, based on the deep learning [2], is computationally, data-intensive and energy-intensive. However, the equipment we equip – satellites, micro-drones, fully autonomous robots – operates in environments where these resources are rare, or even absent.
So we adopted a frugal AI, designed from the ground up to work with little: little data (thanks to event cameras), little energy (thanks to neuromorphic chips), and little memory.
This forces us to rethink the entire design chain: from hardware to algorithms, including the embedded operating system that we develop internally, NeurOS.
What was the biggest challenge you faced while setting up your project?
CF: One of the biggest challenges was convincing our early partners and funders that our technology, while still emerging, could outperform conventional approaches.
This involved building trust without a final product, proving the value of our approach with early demonstrators, and navigating demanding ecosystems like space or defense, where technological credibility and intellectual property are key.
Was your consideration of industrial property a natural one? What role did the INPI play?
CF: From the outset, we understood that industrial property would be an essential strategic lever to enhance our R&D and protect our technological advantage.
This was natural, because our innovation lies at the intersection of the hardware, with and algorithms. [There seems to be a translation error here, as the French original mentions hardware, software and algorithms: “l’intersection du hardware, du software et des algorithmes.”]
The INPI supported us in this process, helping us to structure our industrial property — patents, trademarks, Soleau envelopes, etc. — and to better understand the issues related to the promotion of innovation in a European context.
[1] To avoid unnecessarily costly operations in terms of time and energy, this type of camera only records data when there is a change in brightness.

*Soleau envelope:
Soleau envelope - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
The Soleau envelope (French: Enveloppe Soleau), named after its French inventor, Eugène Soleau [fr], is a sealed envelope serving as proof of priority for inventions valid in France, exclusively to precisely ascertain the date of an invention, idea or creation of a work. It can be applied for at the French National Institute of Industrial Property(INPI). The working principles were defined in the ruling of May 9, 1986, published in the official gazette of June 6, 1986 (Journal officiel de la République française or JORF), although the institution of the Soleau envelope dates back to 1915.[1]
The envelope has two compartments which must each contain the identical version of the element for which registration is sought.[2] The INPI laser-marks some parts of the envelope for the sake of delivery date authentication and sends one of the compartments back to the original depositary who submitted the envelope.[2]
The originator must keep their part of the envelope sealed except in case of litigation.[3] The deposit can be made at the INPI, by airmail, or at the INPI's regional subsidiaries.[2] The envelope is kept for a period of five years, and the term can be renewed once.[3]
The envelope may not contain any hard element such as cardboard, rubber, computer disks, leather, staples, or pins. Each compartment can only contain up to seven A4-size paper sheets, with a maximum of 5 millimetres (0.2 in) thickness. If the envelope is deemed inadmissible, it is sent back to the depositary at their own expense.[2]
Unlike a patent or utility model, the depositor has no exclusivity right over the claimed element. The Soleau envelope, as compared to a later patent, only allows use of the technique, rather than ownership, and multiple people might submit envelopes to support separate similar use, before a patent is later granted to restrict application.
BrainChip appears to be securing a sale via NeuroBus and is hiring a developer to build the model.
Neurobus is based in Toulouse, which is located in the Occitanie region of southern France. Their headquarters are at 2 Rue d'Austerlitz, 31000 Toulouse.
Neurobus is a small, early-stage deep-tech startup founded in 2023, specializing in neuromorphic computing for edge AI applications in space, defense, and autonomous systems. As of 2025, the company comprises approximately 6 employees and operates primarily out of Toulouse and Paris, France

Would presume this has been MB vision posted but couldn't see it. Came out late 2024.
Came up on a Google search but hadn't seen it myself previously and got me thinking.
Would be pretty sure that MB would not be allowing BRN to be using any affiliation to MBs corporate branding on their website unless there was still some connection.
I personally believe that there would have been discussions after the original EQXX post by MB way back when and the overshoot affect it had on the SP at the time.
I expect that the curtain was agreed to be closed in the interim whilst R&D continues and not to be pulled back till something more mkt tangible comes into play.
We know MB has hooked up with Waterloo and that allows newsflow and conversations etc publicly around neuromorphic without the concern of any mkt impacts directly related to BRN.
I do wonder whether we are connected still behind the curtain via Waterloo as well in some capacity as the R&D continues.
Excerpt:
Neuromorphic computing revolutionises energy efficiency and latency in autonomous driving
Future vehicles will include more and more functionalities, with those for autonomous driving being just one example. As this will lead to significantly higher energy requirements, efficiency is a crucial factor. Mercedes‑Benz is a pioneer in automated driving and safety technologies. The vision for the future is autonomous driving, which will redefine the role of the automobile. Not only will it increase safety, efficiency and comfort on the road. It will also give time back to passengers by allowing them to devote their attention to things other than driving. In addition, the autonomous car will communicate with the cities of the future. To realise all this calls for innovative algorithms and hardware components that overcome the limits of today’s computer hardware.
Through research into artificial neural networks, Mercedes-Benz and its partners from research and industry are breaking new ground in the creation of computer architectures. The company recently announced a research cooperation with the Canadian University of Waterloo in the field of neuromorphic computing. By mimicking the workings of the human brain, neuromorphic computing could make AI computations significantly more energy-efficient and faster. Safety systems could, for example, recognise traffic signs, lanes and other road users much better and react faster, even in poor visibility. And they could do so ten times more efficiently than current systems. There would be benefits in using a neuromorphic camera for interior monitoring, for example. Instead of full images (frames), it delivers individual pixels (events – hence the name event-based camera). The process is extremely fast with minimal delay. This means, for instance, a rapid system reaction to the blinking of a driver’s eye caused by fatigue. Neuromorphic computing has the potential to reduce the energy required for data processing in autonomous driving by 90 per cent compared to current systems.

This is a genius combination of two technologies.
Why HaiLa + Akida is better (simple + how):
It creates smart sensors that use almost no power, run for years on tiny batteries, and think for themselves—without needing the internet.
How:
- HaiLa sends data by reflecting Wi-Fi signals (no power-hungry radio).
- Akida processes data directly on the sensor (like a tiny brain) using ultra-low power.
Result: Faster, safer, greener sensors—with no need to constantly charge, replace batteries, or send data to the cloud.
I suspect the way it works is that Haila devices receive frequency signals and then trigger an event for BrainChip Akida to verify whether the signal is valid. If it is, the device starts processing and responding. During idle times or when noise signals occur, Akida halts the processing, thereby saving power on the edge devices. Additionally, Haila devices will leverage BrainChip for data processing or even run on-device machine learning tasks.

BrainChip Holdings Ltd. has announced a strategic collaboration with HaiLa Technologies to enable high power efficiency for connected sensor applications in IoT, medical, environmental, and smart infrastructure applications. The two companies aim to deliver smarter, ultra-low-power solutions for intelligent connected edge devices, making it easier to run AI at the edge without draining battery life.
BrainChip and HaiLa will leverage their respective technologies, neuromorphic computing and RF platform, to develop an ultra-efficient architecture, which they say will pave the way for continuously connected battery-operated devices that can last the life of the product on a single coin cell battery. “By combining our Akida technology with HaiLa’s innovative RF platform, we’re making intelligent, battery-powered edge sensors a practical reality,” said Steve Brightfield, CMO at BrainChip, in a statement.
The companies will jointly demonstrate how their combined technologies—BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic technology, delivering energy-efficient, event-driven AI compute, and HaiLa’s Wi-Fi compatible connectivity BSC2000 radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) — will enable “breakthrough” power efficiency for connected sensor applications.
The demo features HaiLa’s power-efficient passive backscatter wireless communication over standard Wi-Fi infrastructure with BrainChip’s Akida AKD1500 event-based AI processor.
The new platform targets anomaly detection, condition monitoring, and other sensor-intelligence tasks while operating on microwatts of power.

Did the person in charge at Bospar Communications oversleep?!
At least Alf Kuchenbuch gets to repost HaiLa CEO Derek Kuhn’s almost 4 h old post I shared earlier…
