BRN Discussion Ongoing

A few takeaways from me on CogniEdge.ai’s new white paper on their CEDR framework.

The big picture is they’re trying to make robots adapt to humans, so that production lines run faster, safer, and with lower human cognitive load.

It positions BrainChip Akida 2.0 as a neuromorphic co-processor at the edge working alongside NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor. The authors frame Akida as the millisecond, low-power reflex layer for multimodal fusion (they reference EEG, RGB, LiDAR), with Thor handling LLM-based reasoning and planning.

One notable line from the paper is “NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor (2,070 FP4 TFLOPS, Blackwell GPU) and BrainChip Akida 2.0 process data within 8 ms.”

Why Akida is a fit:
  • Latency: Event-driven inference gives millisecond-level reactions for safety stops, hand-over timing, and fine motion cues which is critical when people and robots share space.
  • Temporal fusion: EEG/vision/LiDAR are sequences, not static snapshots; Akida +TENNs thrive on time-based patterns (micro-gestures, intent shifts, motion continuity, anomaly spikes).
  • Power & thermals (SWaP): Sub-watt always-on reflex logic means you can put intelligence on the arm/drone/sensor, not just in a central box.
  • On-device learning: Few-shot updates let the system personalize to a specific operator or task variant without a full retrain.
  • Privacy: Processes the EEG/vision locally and share features/alerts only which reduces network load.
They explicitly reference Tesla’s Optimus, alongside UR5 cobots and DJI drones as target platforms in the concept. If humanoids like Optimus become common in factories, this “reflex-plus-reasoning” split is exactly what you need for contact sensing, micro-gestures, and balance and interaction reflexes.

In short, it seems to be one of the first papers to present a credible picture of how neuromorphic computing could underpin Industry 5.0, bridging human intent, robot coordination, and edge intelligence into a single framework.


Some excerpts from the White Paper below.

Remember when we used to say AKIDA makes sensors smart now its AKIDA makes Robots smart - fact.

OK, this is from Gemini AI, but its just plain old common sense and saves thinking it out and typing. Flow on's from Bravo's posts and links.

How on‑chip learning concretely makes robots smart​

  • Local personalization: STDP/one‑shot updates let a robot adapt to an individual operator’s gesture signatures, timing, and idiosyncrasies in minutes rather than requiring dataset collection and offline retraining.
  • Fast habit formation: Robots can adjust thresholds, temporal filters, and micro-policies from very small exposure, improving responsiveness in the next few interactions.
  • Reduced dependency on connectivity: Learning and adaptation occur on-device so robots remain capable under limited or lossy network conditions.
  • Continuous lifelong adaptation: On-chip mechanisms support ongoing tuning to drift (sensor wear, worker fatigue patterns) without expensive model refresh cycles.
  • Privacy and bandwidth benefits: Raw sensitive signals (EEG traces) can be summarized on-device after learning, so only high-level metrics are transmitted upstream.

I know … already postet… but It’s such a relief to read:

“It formalizes a multi-year collaboration, granting Parsons access to the AKD1500 processor. Parsons will use BrainChip’s AI Enablement Package and benefit from supply continuity and support services.”

This is a great little article; it seems to me at least that the AKD1500 mass production run relates to this agreement, and if you read what
is stated in the company's update from Sean, reinforces what I think.

Things are bubbling away in the pot very nicely thank you.

Hey TECH....

I can not open the website.. maybe because it’s locked for Asian countries like south/east Asia?
They are all just linked to this dude, Gary Harmon.

He is a vice president for federal contracts at Convergint Federal and are maybe behind that contract SAP NS2 secured?

I don't know??

SAB NS2 Goggle search:



Founded in 2004 to meet the unique needs of the U.S. government, SAP NS2 is an independent, U.S.-based subsidiary of the global software provider, SAP.​

SAP NS2 has a mission to deliver SAP cloud solutions to the most security-sensitive organizations across the U.S. government, national defense, intelligence, and highly regulated commercial industries. With compliance considered at every level, SAP NS2 guides our customers’ digital transformation to accelerate innovation, streamline operations, protect critical information, and ensure mission readiness.

So, looks like some kind of US government outfit, both of them?

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
I was just refreshing my memory by re-watching the BrainChip Technology Roadmap Video.


12.48 mins - Jonathan Tapson (Chief Development Officer, BrainChip)

Re: Akida 2.0


"Attach it to a radar system and it will identify friend or foe, faster than any other current solution. Inside of a modem, it can actually identify hostile internet traffic, so if somebody is sending a virus or a denial of service, the Akida chip can, on the fly, recognise that traffic on the modem and deal with it. And these are actually, there are other examples actually. So for example, in VR goggles, its becoming very important to track eye gaze and we can do that at lower power, with a smaller piece of silicone than anybody else at the moment. So there are just a few of the use cases that we are actually working on with current and future partners".

I nodded off before the end of the Roadmap, but my money's on the cybersecurity.

Speaking of which, I wonder how "deep" into the network/cloud it could be applied?

I certainly hope for all long term holders that this is the start of a proper run and cascade of news, contracts, and for all of us a big jump in the SP that has been in the doldrums for some time!! Let’s f…… go!! 💪💪

Hey all,
Defense, Wearables, Industrial 5.0 and
Aerospace...Sean has implied a few times
now that wearables are likely coming first.

So is that the medical field..yes is that the defense helmets..yes..in my view anyway.

But one thing is certain we are moving like a butterfly and are going to sting like a bee 😂

If you don't think the whales are watching our continued progress, timing when they
may pounce, well you'd be wrong in my opinion, the word huge enters my mind by 2030 🏒✍️
