The Jericho Smart Sensing Lab at the University of Sydney Nano Institute has developed a prototype sensor system for the RAAF that mimics the brain’s neural architecture to deliver high-tech sensing technology.
Dubbed MANTIS, the system under development integrates a traditional camera with a visual system inspired by neurobiological architectures. This ‘neuromorphic’ sensor works at 'incredibly high' speeds, which will allow aircraft, ships and vehicles to identify fast moving objects, such as drones.
“Combining traditional visual input with the neuromorphic sensor is inspired by nature. The praying mantis has five eyes – three simple eyes and two composite. Our prototype works a bit like this, too,” Professor Ben Eggleton, Director of Sydney Nano, said.
MANTIS combines two visual sensing modes in a lightweight portable unit, operated via dashboard interface, with a processing system that is on board the craft, ship or vehicle. The aim is to enable a direct comparison of images and allow for the rapid exploration of the neuromorphic sensor capabilities.
Sydney Nano worked with the School of Architecture, Design and Planning to develop the prototype in just three months.
“There are many things that excite me about MANTIS. The level of detail that it provides and its ability to track high-speed events is very impressive," Air Vice-Marshal Cath Roberts, Head of Air Force Capability, said. “It's a promising sensor fusion that has really strong potential across Defence.”
Professor Eggleton leads the Jericho Lab team that saw delivery of the prototype. The four-kilogram small-form design will allow the camera to be easily used on aircraft, ships and vehicles to detect challenging targets.
“The neuromorphic sensor has exquisite sensing capabilities and can see what can't be seen with traditional cameras,” he said. “It invokes the idea of the eye in animals but has leading-edge technology built into it.”
Whereas a traditional camera is constrained by frame rates, each pixel in a neuromorphic camera functions independently and is always ‘on’. This means the imaging system is triggered by events. If it’s monitoring a static scene, the sensor sees nothing and no data is generated.
“When there is an event, the sensor has incredible sensitivity, dynamic range and speed,” Professor Eggleton said. “The data generated is elegantly interfaced with an IT platform allowing us to extract features using machine-learning artificial intelligence.”
“We look forward to developing this device further and collaborating with other experts in this area, including Western Sydney University’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, which are the leaders in neuromorphic research in Australia.
MANTIS is the result of the partnership between the University of Sydney Nano Institute and Air Force’s Jericho Disruptive Innovation.
“A rapid prototype of this type and scale happening in three months, during COVID, is remarkable,” said Wing Commander Paul Hay, head of advanced sensing at RAAF Jericho Disruptive Innovation.
The Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) was also involved in the collaboration, providing early guidance and input.

BRN have no control overr when demand for the Edge arrives and grows.
BRN has control over setting up the company to be in the best possible position to take advantage of the demand when it arrives. I think BRN are doing a great job in preparing the business for when this occurs.
I am patient and not worried about my investment which a medium/long term outlook.

Interesting that RT would like the below found by @IloveLamp , and then release a PR statement that includes such specific wording about battery powered (wearables) and fan-less devices.

Hi CartagenaHi Learning and Stockduck,
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles sounds like one hell of a client to have onboard and interestingly ApexAI focuses on the main things Brainchip is in like object detection and machine learning. Yes we sure hope that "we are" the hardware in this application and we are not going for a joyride and our brains/tech secrets are being freely shared rather than being used to create future revenue contracts.
In my view shouldn't we be signing IP licensing contracts with our partners if we are collaborating with them to safeguard our IP and bring products to market? Emotion3D is not under an NDA so why have we not heard of such contracts yet?
I remain positive about this and hope we hear an announcement of a license or IP contract with Emotion 3D or any of our other partners in the not too distant future. Meanwhile we remain patient on Akida Gen 2 release, only around 3 weeks to go before end of this quarter.
I do to believe in the near distant future, Brainchip will have new licensing and IP deals sign.
With regard to Emotion3D.

Hence, I don't believe we will see an licensing or IP contract announcement in the future. From my understanding it's a joint partnership for the project. Brainchip and Emotion3D will collaborate to develop and most likely will profit share from the result.
I don't remember with podcast; but I confident, everytime Brainchip has entered into a partnership with there partners. There would be contractual arrangements between parties to protect their IP.

Some interesting comments made here by a Nvidia exec:
finance.yahoo.com
"According to Das, the total addressable market for AI will consist of $300 billion in chips and systems, $150 billion in generative AI software, and $150 billion in omniverse enterprise software. These figures represent growth over the "long term," Das said, though he did not specify a target date."
"If you think about the traditional computing systems based on CPU computing, what has changed over the decades is simply the location — you're in the cloud, you're doing it on your phone, but it's essentially the same style of computing," Das told the audience. "And more and more, the functions of companies are being done in computing. That means you need more and more computing in the world, which means you need more data centers. You need more energy. You need more horsepower, and it's just not sustainable."

The article posted by Cartegna, “Sydney Nano develops neiromorphoc sensor for RAAF” about an Australian group developing, in three months, an impressive neuromorphic detector, is a bit depressing.
Nearly three years ago Akida chips were available on boards. I had thought bright nerds bought them, ran to their garages and started soldering. But where are the Youtube videos of brilliant devices? It is not that there are no commercial examples of Alida - there seem to be no working examples of any sort.
We have bragged of being three years ahead, but the peloton has caught us. What has gone wrong?

Hi Learning,
Appreciate your response. As you say, if there are contractual arrangements (well I hope) being made, why aren't they being announced as these are surely material developments and warrant some form of proper announcement to shareholders?
In saying this, profit sharing from a joint venture is a commercial contractual agreement and from my business experience this definitely needs to be solidified into a contract if Brainchip and another partner such as Emotion3D are working together on our IP.

But…but….but I demand it happen now and they announce everything right now and break all the NDA’s and run the risk of losing the commercial relationship and I demand more from Antonio who has licensed 100’s of licenses with ARM, the largest supplier of IP in the world, what would he know?
And Sean Hehir who was VP of Strategic Alliances, looking after Microsoft, Cisco, AMD, Intel. What would he know about building ecosystems and working with global tier one companies and managing relationships and contracts?
& Chris stevens who has worked for Syntiant and sold edge ai devices, what would he know?
And Nanden who was in change of the adoption of “Hey Alexa” at a trillion US$ company Amazon and worked for ARM for 16 years as Vice President and GM of Immersive Experience & Augmented Reality and wearable devices, what would he know?
Duy-Loan Le, what would she know? She only used to work for Texas Instruments for 35 years.
I demand they go about sales and marketing how I say they should, to make me feel better in the short term, not how they think what works and I demand they don’t earn the money they do and work for peanuts despite them being able to get a job elsewhere for double the money
What did Chris Stevens say when he joined Brainchip? He said-
“I have tracked BrainChip’s progress closely, as I’ve been selling into the same edge AI market. I am thrilled to take this sales leadership role with confidence as AkidaTM is uniquely superior and positioned to be the de facto standard for edge AI semiconductor IP”, said Stevens. “With use-case, market, and customer targeting, I’m certain I will contribute to further ecosystem penetration and accelerated sales”.
Nanden when he joined, leaving Amazon valued at $1 trillion US, said-
“I am excited to join BrainChip. Our unique approach to performant and efficient edge AI at scale is a great enabler for an industry that is looking for innovative and transformative solutions” said Nayampally. “It is a great opportunity to not only advance product intelligence at the sensor and the edge but unleash the full power of AI. BrainChip is positioned to create that positive change and I’m thrilled to be a part of making that happen.”
Duy-Loan when joining Brainchip from Texas Instruments, valued at $250 billion AUS said-
“We are at a point of transition in the semiconductor industry as edge computing has pushed for new, more efficient techniques and hardware,” said Duy-Loan Le. “BrainChip has a differentiated and commercially viable IP product that can transform edge computing at-large. I’m excited about and committed to my role as a board director.
I fully trust the company’s approach to building this company into the behemoth it will be.
My only wish is they learn to communicate with Aus shareholders a bit better but other than that, I am fully supportive of how it is all happening.
Just take a look at the other neuromorphic companies and who they’ve got working for them, how many partners they have, and compare them to Brainchip.
We are absolutely uniquely positioned to play a massive part in the edge ai space.
