Brainchip have added to there website Health as a market they service. Someone asked about NaNose well it still gets a guest appearance here:

The implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Healthcare institutions have amassed extensive datasets, including health records, images, population statistics, claims data, and clinical trial data. However portable solutions for vital signs analysis and diagnostics are too computationally intensive or inaccurate which adds substantial costs to remote healthcare and risks to patients who can’t get timely care.
There is sufficient knowledge to do much more effective preventative healthcare from vital signs or smart wellness. Brainchip’s Akida brings a level of efficiency and specialized performance for health care time series data that can enable radically effective portable solutions for health, sensory enhancement and wellness through wearable, hearable and embedded devices as well as efficient portable diagnostics equipment.
Since each individual is different, the Akida’s ability to learn and customize on device, brings the added privacy benefit.

Ai Labs now makes a guest appearance under Industrial Markets:

Manufacturing is becoming increasingly automated, and sensors are fundamental to capturing and analyzing tolerances and quality. AI has also become a standard component of inferences and automated decisions.
The need for machine learning to add classification categories without disrupting output is critical.
Akida’s high performance to support sensory inputs in real-time with remarkable energy efficiency, and continuous on-chip learning, bring optimized productivity, reduced downtime, and improved security to your factory floor.
System health monitoring is another critical use case that leverages BrainChip’s Akida processor IP. Any piece of machinery produces vibrations or sound representing a healthy state, which changes over time as the equipment ages or is damaged. While the human senses may not be able to distinguish minor changes in sound, smell or that visually indicate an impending problem, the Akida Edge AI processor can provide early diagnostics through real-time analysis of sensor data on issues such as reducing human-related errors and labor costs, preventing machinery deterioration in real-time and set up preventative maintenance before catastrophic failure. This can save the industry billions lost due to unplanned downtime, and further reduce maintenance cost.

I have just had another look at the new Brainchip website and on the first page under the heading "IN GOOD COMPANY" appears the following list and a bar to click if you too would like to become a "Partner."

The list on the home page is a banner that revolves but now lists the following companies:

"Prophesee, Renesas, Valeo, NASA, MegaChips. NVISO, EMOTION3D, Edge Impulse, Ai Labs, SiFive, Mercedes Benz, ARM, Intel"

As it is a banner no one is first in line.

When you click on 'Partner' this is what now appears:

Have your university become AI smarter, join the University AI Accelerator Program today."



The other day I posted about the wording approved by Brainchip on the Teksun website after it took down the reveal of "Cisco, Toshiba' and another company and I suggested it revealed certain things about Renesas and Mercedes Benz well as you will see from the above they form their own unique category.

What makes Renesas and Mercedes Benz not a Technology Partner, an Enablement Partner or an Integration Partner well Renesas has bought IP and software from Brainchip to produce its own chip/MCU.

We know Mercedes Benz has publicly stated it is building its own chip and of course as Blind Freddie says you need IP to do that.

On the Teksun website Mercedes Benz has partnered just like Renesas to drive "intelligence into next generation devices". Again this is a bit hard without IP already in your hands and guaranteed to be available once you go into production.

We know that this very same entry included ARM with Mercedes Benz and Renesas as partnering with Brainchip to do the same thing yet ARM is described above as a Technology Partner and no longer stands with these two companies.

So it is up to you to decide was one of the IP licences sold to a third party by MegaChips who was originally announced as looking to use AKIDA technology in the automotive space sold to Mercedes Benz?

In my opinion there is now some logic to support this conclusion.

My opinion only DYOR

Sony Spresense AI MCU's can be developed on Edge Impulse platform.



Spresense 6-core microcontroller board with ultra-low power consumption​

High-performance microcontroller board with hi-res audio, camera input, internal GPS and Edge AI support.


We know that no one can do it at the sort of low power levels of AKIDA particularly when things get a tiny bit complex but the best I can work out is that the Spresense absolute minimum power requirement is 1.8 watts and if I was not an old technophobe it seems to read like you would need to ramp this up from time to time as they suggest having an additional battery for this purpose.

I would think that once a developer gets onto the Edge Impulse platform they will be tempted to have a look around and try out this thing called AKIDA even if their first love is Sony.

Great to see Renesas and Mercedes, confirmed as partners, on BrainChip's website. Matching the wording now on Teksun's website.

"Prophesee, Renesas, Valeo, NASA, MegaChips. NVISO, EMOTION3D, Edge Impulse, Ai Labs, SiFive, Mercedes Benz, ARM, Intel"

On Teksun though, shouldn't they appear in the above revolving banner?
And what about Socionext?

Socionext must be promoting brainchip for no reason. They share the video few times a week. Read above and watch below. What i gather is they are going to use brainchip in some sort of shape and form in automotive. Why would they even talk and let alone post a video on their page frequently 😉.

Hi @DingoBorat

As for Teksun probably more difficult to add to banner so probably waiting for their host to get it done.

Socionext I have mentioned I raised the absence of Socionext previously and basically was told nothing other than the relationship with Socionext is complex whatever that means.

There is no doubt Socionext and Brainchip are an item but it’s a bit like one of those Romeo and Juliet romances where it has to be kept under wraps because of the parents.

I might try again and see what they say this time. 😂🤣😂🪁🪁🪁🪁

Is it technologically/economically conceivable that the Akida chip in the field of lighting technology for LED lamps will bring a significant improvement in terms of energy utilization and efficiency in relation to the durability of an LED lamp and/or electricity savings in general? Could it be possible to build Akida IP into LED chips, or is that too far-fetched. In my opinion, there needs to be significant progress in the development of LED lamps in order to improve their quality (lifespan, power consumption, light frequency on/off).

Which are the big led manufacturing companies in the world?
Do some have a relationship with BRN?
How manny chips/year does this market need?

Hi stockduck,

Some LED diodes are made using gallium nitride, and would not be compatible with the Akida.

n Australian company, BluGlass, has invented a revolutionary GaN LED/laser diode manufacturing process, RPCVD, which operates at a few hundred degrees lower than standard CVD/MCVD. They have licenced out their LED manufacturing, but kept the laser manufacturing in-house.

This is a slide of manufacturers from the BluGlass webinar:
