Cory Merkel, a computer engineering faculty member, will represent the university in the new Center of Neuromorphic Computing under Extreme Environments, also referred to as CONCRETE.
Cory Merkel, assistant professor of computer engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, will represent the university as one of five collegiate partners in the new Center of Neuromorphic Computing under Extreme Environments, also referred to as CONCRETE.
Based at the University of Southern California, center partners will build neuromorphic computing devices and software that can be used in extreme application domains from intense temperatures to dangerous conditions, such as radiation or highly corrosive elements.
Each university will bring its own expertise to the field of neuromorphic computing, with Merkel’s research group bringing its experience in development and testing methodologies for the new devices, circuits, and materials being used to build neuromorphic computing systems.
“For a long time, neuromorphic computing has been at the fundamental stage, but now we are thinking about how to scale it up. In this project, we’re interested in overcoming scaling challenges for neuromorphic systems that are exposed to extreme environments, especially how the behavior of the system changes as a result of these conditions,” said Merkel.
Neuromorphic computing, sometimes referred to as brain-inspired computing, is a growing field of artificial intelligence focusing on developing computing infrastructure. The physical, neural network architecture and its complex processing mechanisms are inspired by natural learning mechanisms in the human brain—its evolutionary ability to process data and signals efficiently. It is a $47 million global industry and expected to increase to $1 billion by 2028, according to industry research and the American Institute of Physics, because of increased demands from fields such as automotive, healthcare and defense.
“The community is looking at scalability as a challenge, but if we want people to pay attention to neuromorphic computing, we have to demonstrate its utility in large-scale applications and applying our techniques to real-world problems,” said Merkel, director of RIT’s Brain Lab in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering. Work in the lab is advancing the security of computing systems and developing bio-inspired artificial intelligence technologies. He also is one of the inaugural members of the BrainChip University AI Accelerator Program and a former researcher with the Air Force Research Lab.
Funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory, RIT joins center leader University of Southern California and partners University of California-Los Angeles, Duke University, and University of Texas-San Antonio for the five-year, $5 million initiative. Work in developing the advanced computing system will also entail supporting university-Air Force workforce initiatives to educate the next generation workforce.
Well that's an "F" for anagrams.

BrainChip Boosts Space Heritage with Launch of Akida into Low Earth Orbit
marketwirenews.com
BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI, today saw its Akida™ AI technology launched into low earth orbit aboard the Optimus-1 spacecraft built by the Space Machines Company. The successful launch is another milestone for BrainChip’s innovative AI acceleration solution in the burgeoning SpaceTech industry, which needs advanced learning and decision-making processes in challenging space conditions.
Akida is built into the ANT61 Brain™ computer, which serves as the primary intelligent control for a series of repair and maintenance robots that will be used to remotely repair damaged space vehicles. This autonomy demands high-performance AI computation under severe energy, power, and thermal constraints. This makes it an application for Akida’s event-based, neuromorphic architecture that can deliver the necessary high performance with extremely low power operation. Additionally, Akida's unique on-chip learning also enables the ANT61 Brain to learn and adapt, which is critical in constrained space environments where variables are constantly changing.
“We’ve teamed up with BrainChip to create autonomous infrastructure maintenance robots that leverage an AI-driven ‘Brain’ to perform complex repair tasks in the unforgiving vacuum of space,” said Mikhail Asavkin, CEO, and founder of ANT61. “This launch is an important milestone towards that goal. We plan to start operating the world’s first neuromorphic space-grade computer in two months after the launch.”
Mark Ramsey, COO of the Space Machines Company, added, “Space is a tough and unforgiving environment and needs innovative technologies like BrainChip’s Akida and ANT61's Brain to deliver efficient processing and remote learning to adapt to ever-changing environments and mission-critical situations. These innovations can ultimately support Space Machines Company's vision to provide roadside assistance in orbit.”
With the success of the launch behind it, the ANT61 Brain will begin operation in the coming months with plans to refine its robot’s vision system, training with a video directly from the satellite’s cameras. The ANT61 Brain utilizes the AKD1000 of BrainChip’s first-generation Akida technology.
“This has been a great collaborative learning experience with ANT61, and we congratulate them along with Space Machines Company and others involved with the Optimus-1 launch on a phenomenal achievement,” said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. “As a company that is cultivating a heritage of empowering highly efficient, intelligent sensing and inference devices, we are excited to add space heritage with this launch, but we’re just scratching the surface as our 2 nd generation will enable greater support for future mission-critical space operation. The future of autonomy in space is bright.”

The question I have on the Ant61 Akida is who did the Rad Hardening?

Space is a problem for chips with radiation.

We know Vorago were working with us and their hardsil tech and the closest we have out of the box is the 1500 on 22nm FDSOI which is a preferred type for space.

Did we launch a 1500 or 1000, can't recall?

Not sure you need radhard for LEO.

One of the articles today referred to first gen Akida 1000.

It has probably been covered 100 times, but is there any valid, legal or other reason that this cannot be an ASX announcement? I don't get it.
Absolutely no reason I can see. It can be marked as non price sensitive.
It is certainly an important milestone that should be acknowledged.

Cool. Good to know that's not a potential issue being up there then.

Thought was the 1000 but the poss need for rad hardening made me wonder.

Hi folks
Since we're in the BrainChip forum and focusing on the company, let me phrase it this way. On such red days when it feels like evil is trying to execute its devilish plan against Jesus... just kidding... those 39 cents need to hold or break that 44. An ASX announcement would be great right now!

Why the leadership acts the way they "don't" act is also a mystery to me. They are making so much progress that is worthy of an announcement. Especially the successful mission to orbit... Of course, we have to wait and see how Akida performs up there. But an announcement about the successful placement in space would be nice! However, the question arises again, is BrainChip responsible for that? After all, this is not our mission. However, making news in newspapers or on any platform to drum up excitement should be done.

SpaceX Roadster Gets a Cosmic Tune-Up: Ant61 Brain Robot to the Rescue!"

In a bizarre and amusing turn of events, Elon Musk's SpaceX Roadster, which was launched into space in 2018, has been given a much-needed tune-up by a brain-powered robot known as Ant61 Brain Robot. The spacecraft, which has been drifting aimlessly in the cosmos for years, was recently discovered by Brainchips neuromorphic vision telescope, where Ant61 Brain Robot decided to take matters into its own hands.

Ánt61 Robot, a self-proclaimed "space mechanic," used its advanced brainchip technology to fix various issues with the Roadster. The robot, affectionately named "Akida Ballista," performed tasks such as recharging the batteries, rotating the tires, and even giving the car a fresh coat of paint and boosting performances several fold.

When asked about the motivation behind this unusual act of cosmic kindness, Akida Ballista replied, "Well, I was getting pretty bored out here in Earth, and I figured Elon's Roadster could use a little TLC.

Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of SpaceX and Tesla, was reportedly thrilled with the news. "I always knew my brainchip technology would come in handy for something out of this world," he said. "I'm grateful to Akida Ballista for taking the initiative to fix my Roadster. Now, if only we could get it to Mars for a test drive!"
