BRN Discussion Ongoing

Well hopefully the news blackout was at BRN's behest as the original publicity was originated by MB, so, with any luck, they may not take umbrage.
Agree. Hopefully, BRN interns are asking for permission first. This would be the third or fourth I've seen. I don't agree with it but I'll take it.

Hi All
I had trouble finding them but they are partnered with Edge Impulse, Renesas and Arduino so very, very real as is the author of the post/CV found by Pom:

Hi, was just looking at BRN website and noticed this image of a Lidar auto vacuum cleaner.

Screenshot 2023-12-31 at 11-27-03 Support - Akida PCIe Board.png

so did a search and found this very similar product from Dreame which certainly fits our MO

and in the company spiel they are connected with this little company called Xiaomi. who does have a previous connection to Renesas.

It could be just a stock photo, could be nothing could be something, time will tell I suppose.

Hi DP
I went to Dream’s website and if you go to the frequently asked questions there are a number of questions about connectivity failure and answers about resetting modems to ensure proper cloud connectivity and making sure to download updates frequently.

Not to say this definitely rules out AKIDA because Dream uses LiDar to map and avoid objects but it could be that as connectivity is a customer complaint they are looking at a way to run unconnected.

Some complaints/questions are about why the battery life when cleaning is so short.

Hi again Fact Finder,

I just noticed that Arduino collaborated with us (as well as Wewolver, Renesas Arm, and Sparkfun) on our 2023 Edge AI Technology Report.

Screenshot 2023-12-31 at 2.05.04 pm.png

The other thing that I think is interesting is that this article dated 27 May 2022, is when Sailesh Chickpea first mentioned Renesas licensing what they need from us to get the ball rolling, and later in the article he mentions a strategic partnership for sensors, power and connectivity with Arduino (who have a base of 30 million active users) . Is that all? He-he-he!😝

I also did a little search on "Arduino" + "neuromorphic" and found this abstract in which they used Spinnaker to run SNN for a real-time, low-power solution for intercepting incoming objects for autonomous systems. So it would appear that do have an interest in neuromorphic technology IMO.

Hi Bravo
Now the question is did I know this already when I posted that Edge Impulse, Renesas and Arduino were partners with Zalmotek or was it just a random observation???

Hi mate, yes I see your point, hopefully they have now stepped into the light and may be looking to a technology that is actually fit for purpose.
It has now been confirmed it is a stock image.

Good morning,

As we stand currently, you cannot expect the Board or Executive Management Team to start issuing forward revenue predications or
assumptions, I'm sorry but that's just the reality of the situation.

When or if an IP License agreement is signed, Sean has already publicly stated that a 7 digit figure is involved, he has also stated a number
of times that the signing of an IP License is very early on in the process, so how can they forward "guess" how many IP Licenses will be
secured over the next 3-5 year period ?...they can't !

Then comes the Royalty Revenue, once again, Antonio has already publicly stated that a company that we have no control over can
design, tape-out, test and retest then decide after 2/3 years to not even go ahead and produce a product for mass production, meaning
no revenue for us.

Then, depending on the small print, if they don't sell a certain amount of units, well we don't get paid any Royalties.

Small revenue is expected from on-going Engineering Services, Evaluation Boards and E-Boxes.

That's the reality of the current state of play, from my understanding, if Tony or someone else within the company wishes to correct me, well
it's all cool.


Regards...Tech (y)

Thanks to the posters who agreed with what I posted yesterday...even my old mate FF was on board ! and yes FF you are correct, an IP
License "could land" at any given time, BUT having re-read the ASX rules with regards making forward earnings assumptions it's extremely
clear, as management have stated numerous times, they can't just "guess" or "pump out" possibilities, many shareholders seem to forget that a new (start-up) company really has no history to refer back to, this is new technology, disruptive technology, with no track record, we, as the
first company to actually produce a commercial N Sock are spearheading a totally "new market".

Why would the company wish to breach all the trust and integrity that they have been building (fact) over the last number of years to start
assuming, almost arrogantly suggesting this is what we expect, so EAP's take note, deliver or else.

We have absolutely no control over what they do or what direction they take or who they snuggle up to, we trust and believe we have the
most flexible, groundbreaking technology and based on that the Board clearly believe that we are on the right path, currently.

Here's a conspiracy theory to finish the year off...we all know of NASA, US Military, US Navy, US Airforce, DOD, US Government, The Pentagon,
Private Contractors in the Aerospace Industry, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Collins Aerospace and Northrop Grumman etc....UFO'S or now
the new description UAP'S....is our (Brainchip) technology currently so advanced that the handbrake has been put on....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

See you all on the other side.....Tech ;)

A IP License can land at any time,, I'd like to think so Hello,
Personally I feel the company is linked with alot of companies, We'll be a piece in the puzzle which is fine as this is still successful in its own right

Hi Chris,

So we get Gen 2 evaluation, a string of new IP deals over the coming 6-12 months, in 3-4 years a few designs and products stick, in turn producing royalties in 4-5 years.

Are you satisfied as an investor with that as the current state of play? That BRN may need to navigate a global depression before its technology gets any meaningful market share?

If as an investor you work from worse case scenario backwards, it’s not ridiculous to assume that Akida 1000 will not directly produce any meaning commercially significant revenue. After all, no company has seen it worthy of signing an IP deal on it for over 2 years now..

Did you read the article perchance?

The whole thing, is about the problem of such devices, being used to spy on their owners (even using algorithms to convert onboard equipment, to microphones).

All thanks to "Cloud connectivity".

The whole article, basically screams, "we need something like AKIDA in these things!"
