The Renesas AKIDA chip should be off the production line this month or August.
News appeared in eenewseurope on the 2nd Dec'22 so end of July sees 8 months since it was Taped out.
Can't be long now.
We probably will not see an ASX ann but we will likely see a US ANN.
Renesas are obviously producing the chip for Commercial purposes.
When it's available for Renesas clients I would hope we see a rise in the SP.
It's wait and see.
💯

Drones to monitor traffic congestion in Seoul

Drones will start hovering over Seoul to monitor traffic congestion more accurately and even predict road conditions, according to the city government on Monday.

Starting in September, the machines will fly up to 230 meters over the city to see where traffic jams are occurring, according to the City Transportation Office under the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

The authority said the drones will enable more advanced traffic monitoring as they can watch hundreds of vehicles in motion from high above simultaneously.

The flying eyes can also single out a certain vehicle to study it and, depending on ambient traffic conditions, calculate possible routes the vehicle may take. Considering that multiple drones can have such data collected from hundreds of other vehicles across the city in real time, it can help traffic flow more efficiently.

Such a feature is out of the question with conventional methods using stationary surveillance cameras that are positioned just a few meters above the ground ― giving only a low-altitude view of traffic.

Another merit of drones is their artificial intelligence that will automatically read traffic movements, carry out calculations and present traffic data.

The machines can also record videos. This recorded data will be transferred in real time to the Seoul Transport Operation & Information Service (TOPIS), the city's central traffic monitoring center. The command center, upon receiving the data, can make necessary decisions depending on real-time traffic conditions and pop-up notifications on electronic display boards visible to drivers along roads and city highways.

Such a method beats the traditional ground-based cameras which are not capable of analysis and thus require humans to monitor and analyze the video feeds.

The upcoming strategy for Seoul TOPIS is expected to help the city authority greatly in cases where spontaneous decision-making is often required, like watching over large-scale rallies, marathons, parades and outdoor concerts in areas shared by vehicles.

City Transportation Office Chief Yoon Jong-jang said that the implementation of drones into the city's comprehensive traffic control system will strengthen further the ways the city responds in real time to road conditions as well as large-scale events.

"The city government's traffic administration will keep pursuing scientific breakthroughs to improve the quality and safety of citizens," said Yoon.

Great connections, May I add a third incredible coincidence/connection in relation to this beast of a machine is discussed by Nandy at 19:50
Lawn mower with weed killing capabilities.
I love how long and hard he thought about the example to give...
Do ya think there are so many he could choose from his brain had difficulty processing the full list so as to offer the one which would have the smallest chance of giving away the customer associated with it... John Deer back on the cards lol

Agreed😂
It was almost as if we was going to tell a lie and had to word it in such a way as to stay honest.
I really do enjoy Nandan's talks very much.

Carbon Robotics™ is pioneering the next revolution in agricultural technology: laserweeding.

Weed control is one of farming’s biggest headaches. By leveraging artificial Intelligence and laser technology, Carbon Robotics delivers chemical-free, no-till, weed control for specialty crops. Our hi-resolutions cameras feed imagery in real time to an onboard supercomputer that runs computer vision models to identify crops and weeds. High-powered lasers then kill weeds at the meristem — without harming valuable crops. Laserweeding works day or night, in all weather conditions. It’s a high-precision solution that improves crop yield and reduces overall costs associated with modern farming. Additionally, laserweeding creates sustainable paths to regenerative and organic farming.

seeds have the potential to become trees.
Just to repost a collection of previous posts, could it be we might be closely tied to Samsung for akida2 ?

Image shown below is the old iDrive. Akida possibly part of the newer infotainment system to be released? The new vehicles will also contain occupant monitoring and external sensors controlled by an NPU.

To add further; Exynos has been linked with Hyundai and Volkswagen.

What a great spokesman for Brainchip Nandan is! I did notice in the interview, there is a John Deere tractor on the shelf behind the interviewer/podcaster. Easter egg or coincidence??

If you don't have dreams, you can't have dreams come true!

If it uses Nvidia's GPU, you wouldn't need the laser, the heat would do the job.

Snippet:-

3.8. Akida

Akida (Vanarse et al., 2019) is the first commercial neuromorphic processor, commercially available since August 2021. It has been developed by Australian BrainChip since 2013. Fifteen companies, including NASA, joined the early access program. In addition to Akida System on Chip (SoC), BrainChip also offers licensing of their technologies, providing chip manufacturers a license to build custom solutions.

The chip is marketed as a power efficient event-based processor for edge computing, not requiring an external CPU. Power consumption for various tasks may range from 100 μW to 300 mW. For example, Akida is capable of processing at 1,000 frames/Watt (compare to TrueNorth with 6,000 frames/Watt). The first generation chip supports operations with convolutional and fully connected networks, with the prospect to add support of LSTM, transformers, capsule networks, recurrent and cortical neural networks. ANN network can be transformed into SNN and executed on the chip.

One Akida chip in a mesh network incorporates 80 Neural Processing Units, which enables modeling 1,200,000 neurons and 10,000,000,000 synapses. The chip is built at TSMC 28 nm. In 2022, BrainChip announced the second generation chip at 16 nm.

Akida's ecosystem provides a free chip emulator, TensorFlow compatible framework MetaTF for the transformation of convolutional and fully connected neural networks into SNN, and a set of pre-trained models. When designing a neural network architecture for execution at Akida, one should take into account a number of additional limitations concerning the layer parameters (e.g., maximum convolution size is 7, while stride 2 is supported for convolution size 3 only) and their sequence.

The major distinctive feature is that incremental, one-shot and continuous learning are supported straight at the chip. At the AI Hardware Summit 2021 BrainChip showed the solution capable of identifying a human in other contexts after having seen him or her only once. Another product by BrainChip is a smart speaker, that on having heard a new voice asks the speaker to identify and after that calls the person by their name. There results are achieved with help of a proprietary local training algorithm on the basis of homeostatic STDP. Only the last fully connected layer supports synaptic plasticity and is involved in learning.

Another instructive case from the AI Hardware Summit 2021 was a classification of fast-moving objects (for example, a race car). Usually, such objects are off the frame center and significantly blurred but they can be detected using an event-based approach.

Interesting little project for Nancy to undertake earlier this year.

Wonder if purely Uni driven or influenced / assisted by Qualcomm / Nuvia as well :unsure:

Nice to see the SNN interest either way.

Also ex ARM prior.

Yes, i see what you mean:

"Major IP/Subsystem for Image Processing​

MegaChips maintains a development platform of various IP and subsystem that are necessary for the image processing and provide optimal ASIC to meet customer needs in a short period of time."
My bold. Fits in with your "Royalties must be around the corner"
Hopefully not to long to wait.
