Arijit Mukherjee of Tata (TCS) co authored several papers that focus on BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic platform and Edge AI.
I asked AI " What are the potential uses that TATA can put the findings of the reports to and what is the liklihood of this happenning and timeframes for development up to commercial launch"
Its AI so take care especially with estimated dates of commercial readiness of products.
The real take away is it gives us confidence that Tata will produce the 'goods' as it said in the partnership ann.

Potential Applications of the Findings​

Below is an overview of how Tata (TCS/Tata Elxsi) can leverage each report’s results, the likelihood of adoption, and estimated timelines from development to commercial rollout.

1. On-board Cloud-Cover Detection for Small Satellites​

Key Capability: Real-time, low-power filtering of cloudy frames before downlink using Akida’s spiking neural network.

• Use Cases
  • Earth-observation nanosatellite constellations for agricultural monitoring, disaster response and environmental sensing
  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing on-the-fly scene selection to conserve bandwidth
• Likelihood of Adoption • Medium – High. TCS has deep ties with satellite integrators and government space programs; initial pilots likely within R&D divisions.
• Timeframe
  1. 2024–2025: Prototype integration on demonstration CubeSat platforms
  2. 2026–2027: First commercial small-sat constellations offering “smart downlink” as a service

2. Embedded Edge-AI Engines for Autonomous Systems​

Based on: “Creating Futuristic Edge Systems with Neuromorphic Computing” white paper

• Use Cases
  • Autonomous vehicles: event-driven obstacle and gesture detection to boost safety and reduce latency
  • Industrial robots and factory automation: ultra-low-power vision tasks (defect detection, motion tracking)
  • Smart cameras and wearables: always-on sign-language translators and interactive HMI
• Likelihood of Adoption • High. Tata Elxsi’s current partnership with BrainChip targets medical and industrial segments, indicating strong commercial intent.
• Timeframe
  1. 2024: Edge-AI dev kits with Akida engines for select OEMs
  2. 2025–2026: Full-scale deployment in automotive ADAS modules and factory vision systems
  3. 2026–2028: Consumer-grade wearables and AR/VR devices with embedded spiking-NN inference

3. Real-Time Gesture Recognition in Human-Machine Interfaces​

Demo: NeurIPS 2019 hands-on (DVS camera → Akida SNN)

• Use Cases
  • Touchless controls in smart homes, medical consoles, and public kiosks
  • VR/AR gesture interfaces with sub-millisecond response
  • Sign-language detection for accessibility tools
• Likelihood of Adoption • Medium. While the demo proves feasibility, embedding into mass-market devices requires partnerships with HMI vendors and UI standards bodies.
• Timeframe
  1. 2024: Pilot integrations with niche HMI/medical console suppliers
  2. 2025–2026: SDK release for consumer-electronics partners
  3. 2026–2027: Products shipping with turnkey gesture-AI features

Today, Axel von Arnim shared more information and photos about what fortiss and Interactive Wear were exhibiting at TechHub SVI 2025 earlier this week :

“Showcasing our neuromorphicly gesture-driven virtual mule robot for defence applications at the#TechHub-SVI defence conference in Munich. Together with our partners [sic] #InteractiveWear, we deliver wearable smart sensing solutions for defence and the medtech industry.”

While it doesn’t look like Akida was already part of that collaboration (not surprisingly, given the partnership between fortiss and BrainChip appears to be still quite young) and I can only spot Loihi, the showcase nevertheless demonstrates what fortiss mean when they say about themselves:

“As the Research Institute of the Free State of Bavaria for software-intensive Systems, fortiss stands for application-oriented cutting-edge research and sets standards in the research and transfer of highly innovative technologies. In close cooperation with academic and practice-oriented partners, we act as a bridge between science and industry and develop excellent solutions for the most pressing challenges of the digital world.”


On second thought: Have a look at the last two photos. Could that possibly be an Akida M.2 factor on the very left of the screen, which shows the Sensor Fusion Development Plattform MHX?
Doesn’t look identical, but similar?

So the gentleman standing next to Axel von Arnim in the photo from the defense tech conference he posted yesterday is Michael Meinl, the German Director of the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL), a binational institution jointly operated by the French and German Ministries of Defence. (There is also a French Director).

Another ISL name that we may want to keep an eye on.

ISL’s mission is “to develop technological innovations for the armed forces and security issues”.

Hi Manny,

Agreed!

Tata (TCS/Tata Elxsi) + BrainChip.

It's a matter of when, not if IMO.

Wow, great find Frangipani, basically confirms that Tata are on board big time. Its a wonder we have not seen posts on linked in or X.
Its on Tatsa's website so its not inside information.
The amount of information concerning neuromorphic Edge AI and Brainchip you find is increasing exponentially which in itself is an indicator that we are getting closer to success.

 

[Bravo]

Hi Manny,

Agreed!

Tata (TCS/Tata Elxsi) + BrainChip.

It's a matter of when, not if IMO.

An example of Tata's confidence in BrainChip perhaps?

Once again, all in my opinion.

Arijit Mukherjee (Principal Scientist, Embedded Devices & Intelligent Systems at TCS Research) is pretty quick to let Cecilia Pisano (R&D Lead Engineer at Nurjana Technologies), know how much longer Tata have been researching BrainChip.

Not something you would publicly disclose unless you were confident, you would think.

Well, that's my take on it at least.

 

[KMuzza]

I often see criticism of BrainChip for not communicating much no flashy press releases, no constant updates. But honestly? That’s exactly one of their biggest strengths in my view.
I understand how development cycles work, how sensitive partnerships are, and how important it is to protect confidentiality. Especially when you’re dealing with technologies meant for vehicles, medical devices, or safety-critical systems.
If you talk too much, you’re out.

G'Day Baneino,

Yes- in total agreement with your statement-

Quote- " I often see criticism of Brainchip for not communicating much no flashy press releases, no constant updates. But honestly? That’s exactly one of their biggest strengths in my view."- unquote

One can use Accenture as an example as "Why is it so" - as per Prof Julius Sumner Milner

Brainchip put out this -

https://brainchip.com/brainchip-tal...icer-applied-intelligence-jean-luc-chatelain/


and there was this patent application with Akida being used -by ACCENTURE

BUT SO FAR - nothing further from ACCENTURE.

NOT EVEN A LISTING ON ACCENTURE /ECOSYSTEM PARTNERS.- ( they have tended to run with NIVIDA)- but the Von Neumann bottleneck will eventually sway in BRAINCHIP's favour.

So -DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and have faith and belief on the technology.

Ecosystem Partners

Accenture’s ecosystem partners and suppliers bring deep expertise and the right technology to our clients for lasting value and accelerate change. Learn more.

Thank you very much for your feedback – I see it very much the same way.
The connction between BrainChip and Accenture through Jean-Luc Chatelain and the mentioned patent filing is certainly noteworthy. Even though no official partnership or integration has been announced yet, it’s fascinating to observe what strategic developments might already be quietly unfolding in the background.
I share your view that Akida will likely gain more traction as traditional Von Neumann architecures begin to reach their limits – especially in terms of energy efficiency and edge applications.
Until then, it seems we just need a bit of patience a close eye on developments, and trust in the substance of the technology without relying on marketing fireworks.

I often see criticism of BrainChip for not communicating much no flashy press releases, no constant updates. But honestly? That’s exactly one of their biggest strengths in my view.
I understand how development cycles work, how sensitive partnerships are, and how important it is to protect confidentiality. Especially when you’re dealing with technologies meant for vehicles, medical devices, or safety-critical systems.
If you talk too much, you’re out.
Discretion isn’t a weakness – it’s a core requirement.
If companies like Mercedes, Valeo or medical tech firms are working with BrainChip, they’re not looking for hype – they’re looking for reliability, maturity and trust. And that’s exactly what BrainChip delivers.
To me, this sends a clear message:
We’re not here to make noise. We’re here to deliver real solutions
People often forget: true industrial product cycles take 3–5 years, minimum especially in hardware. If you expect fireworks every month, you probably haven’t worked in this space – or you’re chasing short-term thrills. But that’s not how real value is built.

I don’t see BrainChip as a hype stock. I see a company that is slowly, solidly and respectfully building long-term partnerships with serious players. They’re not building castles in the air – they’re laying a foundation.

So let me ask do you want short-term PR or long-term substance?


I know which side I’m on.

IF we are actively engaged and working with them, how come our revenues from providing engineering support is so tiny? Is that how development work where small tech firms don't charge much for their work for years and years with no promises?

 

[Baneino]

IF we are actively engaged and working with them, how come our revenues from providing engineering support is so tiny? Is that how development work where small tech firms don't charge much for their work for years and years with no promises?.

In the semiconductor and IP licensing world, especially with bleeding-edge technologies like neuromorphic computing, it’s not uncommon for smaller firms to collaborate for extended periods with large partners ( like Accenture, OEMs, or chipmakers) in a pre-commercial or evaluation phaseoften with very little revenue at first.
These engagements are typically strategic: The goal is to prove out integrationdemonstrate scalability and validate real-world use casesbefore any licensing or commercial contract ist finalized.
BrainChip seems to be following that pattern prioritizing long-term enablement over short-term service fees. While this may look like "no activity" on a financial level, it often reflects a high-trust, embedded collaboration behid the scenes.
It’s definitely not the traditional “consulting-for-hire” model. But if the tech proves itself, the leverage can be enormous once scaled.
So yes it’s not unusual in this field. Frustratingly quiet sometimes but not meaningless.
No matter the clouds we see today I firmly believe that beyond them, the sun is already shining waiting to warm us with its light. Patience is the gentle bridge to that bright horizon."I like to take on the role of motovating and encouriging othersespecialy at the right moments. I hope I’m not beeing intrusive, but rather contributng something positive. What I share here is my personal conviction, combinned with my experiences."
