"Organizations are understanding more and more the importance of implementing machine learning capabilities within their products to turn them into the ‘smart' devices that consumers are clamoring for," said Zach Shelby, CEO and co-founder at Edge Impulse. "By integrating solutions, such as deploying BrainChip's neuromorphic IP with our ML platform, developers and enterprise customers are empowered to build advanced machine learning solutions quickly and efficiently so that they are well-positioned as leaders within their respective markets."

BrainChip deploys AI at the edge in a way that existing technologies cannot. The company's tech is both high-performance and ultra-low power, enabling a range of capabilities including on-chip, in-device one-shot learning. BrainChip's IP can be used in a wide range of applications from consumer electronics to industrial IoT to electric vehicles, and smart sensors that can detect and act on visual features, odors, taste, touch, and sound.

"Partnering with Edge Impulse creates a unique market solution that brings their powerful and easy to use AI/ML application design platform unparalleled performance with BrainChip's silicon proven on-chip learning and ultra-low power IP," said Jerome Nadel, BrainChip CMO. "We continue to look for partnerships that will advance opportunities to enable a wide array of edge AI capabilities, such as continuous learning and real-time inference. Edge Impulse is a perfect addition to our ecosystem of providers enabling next-generation technology to markets around the world."

Hi Uiux,

Thanks for this. Could please showcase to us what you are able to do in this workshop.

A little summary from it would be much appreciated. Excited

Hi Equanimous

I've got a few project's happening in edge impulse



One is related to detecting kangaroos LOL

Nice. Think I need to set up a cockatoo detection and waterspray system to stop them eating the rubber seals off my roof.

A rodent detection would also be useful especially with all this current rainfall again..

Thats very interesting you have multiple projects going with edge impulse, very keen to here more about them.

"cockatoo detection and waterspray system"

I think you just inspired me!

I actually have been building out a sentry system (for neurosec) using the pi Moroni tilt/pan hat. This is just doing face tracking though.

I'll add cockatoo detection to my list and ill look into controlling a water squirter via GPIO pins on a raspberry pi. Sounds like fun lol.

For sure @uiux you have my envy and admiration. Having a development/test system like that is outstanding, especially with neural network capabilities. Wow.

The options for neural network architecture approaches to replace so many old school ways of making an inference on data is mind boggling. The first JAST video that you put up got me to fully grasp how the whole spiking temporal architecture was a solution to transform.

Thanks for all you do to help us!

With all the talk about Gas Sensors, one of Edge Impluse's younger employees. Darn interesting 2 minute video. Very impressive young lady.

The Edge Impulse CEO points out a lot of Industrial Use Cases. He mentions an embedded electric grid solution running for 10 months on one battery. Sure seems like a great relationship/partner/customer for Akida SNN IP.

Just checking in with everyone that you have been keeping an eye on the Edge Impulse - Imagine event - A conference for EdgeML.

Here is the link : https://edgeimpulse.com/imagine#imagine-schedule

Just saviour the ecosystem of businesses and presenters Edge Impulse have assembled for the event.
And remember, Edge Impulse , is actively promoting the collaboration with BrainChip, including tomorrow's event

You can assume that these businesses and individuals have a high level of interaction.

With regards direct involvement from BrainChip we have :

Day 3 is more of a panel/workshop day, with some interesting topics !

• Bringing development of BrainChip Akida Neuromorphic models to all using Edge Impulse

LAGUNA HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2022 / BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX:BRN)(OTCQX:BRCHF)(ADR:BCHPY), the world's first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI IP, and Edge Impulse, the leading development platform for machine learning (ML) on edge devices, are hosting the webinar "Bringing development of BrainChip Akida Neuromorphic models to all using Edge Impulse" August 24 at 11 a.m. PDT.
Todd Vierra, Director Customer Engagement and Nikunj Kotecha, Solutions Architect at BrainChip; and David Schwartz, User Success Engineer at Edge Impulse will provide an early look at the results of the recently announced Edge Impulse and BrainChip integration which delivers next-generation platforms to customers looking to develop products that utilize the companies' unique machine learning capabilities.
Key topics covered in the webinar include:

• The no-code data ingestion, algorithm development, and embedded Akida deployment tools allow for rapid prototyping and validation of Edge ML algorithms with custom data.
• Meet Akida, the leading platform that enables energy efficient, low memory, and high-performance deployments, compared with traditional CPU and accelerated AI hardware.
• MetaTF library (via deployment option) for existing projects to be quickly converted to Akida SNN's (with the above benefits, and low-to-no-code path).
• Quantization-aware training ensuring that models remain accurate after conversion.
• Edge Impulse Linux CLI and its integration with the Akida runtime, which allows for rapid performance testing with real world data.

"Since announcing our partnership to accelerate AI/ML deployments with Edge Impulse in May, we have worked diligently to bring this next-generation technology to markets," said Anil Mankar, CDO of BrainChip. "We are excited to share those advancements to those joining the webinar and hope that attendees will get a better understanding of how they can use BrainChip and Edge Impulse to build and deploy advanced ML solutions quickly and easily."

Edge Impulse TinyML Tech Lead. This guy is really sharp. I saw him on a TinyML panel video and he was the star of the show.

Solid podcast for listening ears, not for watching. Great for listening while cooking or whatever.

Hi Stuart.

Good video to watch although I need to correct you where you said 10 months on a single battery. He actually said “Ten years!”

Wow, blew my socks off!

Cheers
