BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Bravo]

I was reading through this Deloitte's "Autonomous Driving" Report from 2019. It's stacked full of interesting info. One thing that really struck me was the cross-industry partnerships. Autonomous driving is one of the most complex development challenges in the automotive industry and
cross-industry partnerships are described as being "an inevitable prerequisite to mitigate these complex challenges and to close own technology blind spots".

This figure shows the major stakeholders that have established or joined specific co-operations or partnerships. It is
exemplary selection only and not fully exhaustive, so not intended to reflect the full extent of AD
partnerships and investments.

Thanks B,

Here’s a Deloittes 2022 tech trends paper.

I‘d cut and paste it across but it’s 135 pages. Haven’t finished reading it yet but it’s and interesting read:

Hi @ManChildreborn😜

Thanks for the heads up. I agree with you.

NXP is my little IP licencing deal baby that is crawling and will soon learn to walk.

I posted this cheeky introduction post a few days ago which Rob Telson liked. I'd like to think that he already knew who NXP and Lars Reger were but for the sake of pride and being able to beat my chest at the $20 party, I'm going to run with the story that I introduced Rob to Lars and so begun a relationship that resulted in one of the largest semiconductor IP licencing deals ever signed.

Cheers and you're welcome.

Vendors want to expand in-car network, segment it: NXP Semi

The more intricate in-car chippery gets, the happier it is

www.theregister.com

NXP also talked about the automotive sector, which accounts for about half of its business and how digital technology was progressing in vehicles that are being designed now.

"Today in the average car, the architecture of the car is a flat point-to-point type of system. And what's happening is you're seeing more and more data come into the car, more and more data generated in the car, and it's choking that network. If you think about the lines of code for the operating system of the car, it can be up to 2 million lines of code. That's continuing to expand," said Jeff Palmer, Vice President of Investor Relations.

Palmer explained how the automotive vendors want to expand the in-car network and segment it, perhaps mirroring the way that data network architecture in the enterprise has evolved.

"They want to create some hierarchy in the car and partition the car into specific segments where you would have what we call a domain processor, and think of that as not as a microcontroller, but a multicore MPU that will control all the leaf nodes in a domain below it," Palmer said.

"That domain processor role, we've been able to identify about five of them. And they will talk again to each other against a high-speed gigabit Ethernet backbone to almost a network gateway type of a device. And so in this way, you'll be able to create some partitioning hierarchy into the car," he explained.

A bit off-topic I know, but this photo by Italian photographer Ivan Pedretti is a reminder of what a crazily exquisite world we are lucky enough to inhabit. This photo was the overall winner of this year's Glanzlichter Competition and it takes my breathe away.

Chippers,
Just wanted to let you know, MC and me are still good mates, his name change is just a bit of banter we've been having, don't feel awkward, we have been laughing our heads off so don't stress.
And because I am still friends with him, other founding members have nominated me for Nobel Peace prize for 2022 ☺.
Take care everyone... including you "FUbacon"

When I was watching this video I was thinking they are doing lots of very interesting things but except for the soil monitoring where it is powered by the plants he did not mention at any time actual power consumption. Then at the end he said if you came into their showroom they have 50 demonstrations of use cases for NXP technology including the few he showed us in his walk around. Again he did not mention power consumption.

This failure to mention power stands out for me given that once he moved inside away from the Ford EV 150 and power station the first stand was all about being GREEN and power efficiency. There after having started on a GREEN high why did he never again mention power consumption except for one small "low power" comment which he did not quantify. As we know one person's low power is not necessarily the same as Brainchip's idea of low power.

On the power being provided by a plant to measure moisture in the soil what does the farmer do until the first plant grows in his field??? Borrow his wife's Aspidistra from the loungeroom to plug into? The wombats and kangaroos would love that down our way.

Anyway my main takeaway from all the use cases he showed was how amazing am I that without a battery or a lead plugged into a plant I have managed to do all these different things and many more during my life. Remembering our children were in the car seems to have been apparently something quite astonishing. Picking up a handful of soil and squeezing it to see if it was moist. Knocking on a door with my fist to let occupants know I had arrived or if the occupant hearing someone else knock and piecing together that there was someone at the door. Then being able to drive to the house to knock on the door. I am astonishing. Then so are you as you are reading what I have typed and understood having never read what I have typed before.

So how amazing is the human brain and how astonishing is it to be invested in the most advanced attempt at creating true artificial general intelligence in all the World and perhaps as far as we know in the Universe.

Guess what NXP is probably not low power as AKIDA means the term.

I have just been looking at the electricity plants produce and found this company

Generating Electricity From Living Plants - Platinum Electricians

Can you imagine looking at wetlands and green fields when driving out of the city, only to realise electricity is being produced there? Or instead of installing solar panels on your house’s roof, build a rooftop garden which could end up powering your whole home? These are the kinds of questions...

www.platinumelectricians.com.au

And have extracted the following:

“It was a big achievement for the project when in 2014, 50 x 50cm plant trays (generating 5 Volts each) were the first commercial systems launched.”

It is also clear that raising the salt and water content of the soil can increase the power being generated but of course some plants will not tolerate too much salt or water and will eventually not thrive. They would probably last the length of a trade show however.

Anyway it was a sales pitch so a little lily gilding or salting is permitted.

The following paper was part funded by NASA. It is 110 pages of very interesting work and achievements in the area of robotics, sensors, artificial limbs, artificial wearable skin, and brain machine interface to promote human health, rehabilitation and well being.

The message that comes through is:

1. The need to process more than one sensory input at the same time - see AKIDA

2. The need to have a very high degree of processing power capable of matching the processing speed of the human brain and its sending of messages to the required part of the body - see AKIDA (in fact AKD1000 is faster)

3. The need to function at extremely low power provided by solar, battery, or sweat - see AKIDA

4. The need to be programable to meet the personal specifications of each patient- see AKIDA

5. The need to be light weight and of small form - see AKIDA

6. The need to be secure from interference or malicious cyber attack - see AKIDA

https://authors.library.caltech.edu/112380/1/adma.202107902.pdf

AKIDA and Brainchip are not referred to but the hope that new forms of neuromorphic computing might offer answers is covered.

Rob Telson and Sean Hehir have of late been mentioning wearables and health quite often???

I wonder if Ken the Robot could be told this was a and be happy???

Just a little thought Tony Dawe is from the mining industry and from my interactions he does not seem like the sort of person who needs a fluffy companion for when he is lonely.

If it was a personal wine dispensing robot that senses when you need a red and no calls, maybe him liking an unconnected nothing to do with Brainchip and his share holdings value would make sense.

I have mentioned this NASA funded project previously but with AKIDA technologies ability to be scaled to 4nm and its IP embedded on third party chips it is obvious which spiking neuromorphic technology is being used.

It is in itself not a near term commercial prospect however the idea of the resultant autonomous mining technology is beyond incredible:

NASA funds a project to mine the Moon with swarms of autonomous robots

As the name suggests, neuromorphic computing uses a model that’s inspired by the workings of the brain, and is a practise that uses significantly less

I feel sorry for these researchers they clearly had not heard about AKIDA and went to all this trouble to prove SNN is the way to go in space for the European Space Agency and just like Bradbury at the Winter Olympics after all their hard work AKD1000 will just skate through under there guard and take gold.
