Hi all, is it just me or does this type of post/marketing actually put us backwards? I mean as nice as the information is, it seems like a very basic and ...... i don't know unprofessional finish/polish to the company? Cheap? i can totally say it's just my impression, but maybe others feel similar? Ho hum.
Cheap is the only way to eventually proliferate. 54% of companies surveyed recently said they would have to incorporate AI to help their business grow by 2030 or be left behind. (Paraphrasing a story I read on Apple News a few days ago.) There is a greater proportion of companies that won’t be able to afford the expensive infrastructure changes to incorporate the AI we currently have and this includes edge technology. Selling cheaper, lower power tech to that proportion could be the most lucrative thing we could do. BRN has the top down approach selling IP to bigger companies that can then produce large quantities at scale, but through Edge Impulse and similar and the university programs imo are also tackling proliferation from the bottom up. I think the Edge Box and the Cup Cake server are examples of plug and play for a larger audience and the Edge Impulse projects then provide real world examples of use cases that in time will take hold. We’ve seen in the last couple of days a medical tech example detecting pneumonia and now the defect monitoring example. The more these kinds of examples are shown the more Akida will be thought of as a go to imo. It feels like we are getting much closer to that tipping point right now!

Weather prediction will be simplified when they get Blackwell running - when it's on it's hot, when it's not, it's not.
Blackwell heat issue? No problemo!

Anyone seen the new Dyson hairdryer that learns a users preference - on device?

https://www.dyson.com.au/products/hair-care/hair-dryers/dyson-supersonic-nural



"It will remember your go to settings, and select your preferred heat and airflow preferences"

I wonder......

The next generation if hairdryers! :p

This is brilliant.

I reckon it's running standard AI on a CPU. The CPU fan is vented out and the dumped heat is used to dry your hair.

My foliclely challenged self is still not buy one.

No, I'll buy the akida one when it comes out and use it for a cooling fan in summer. No wasted energy there.

Cheers,

What caught my eye @H2 goes up was the self learning and TOF sensor as per this article description. But unfortunately I’ve been overly excited on too many misses so this is probably another one. 🤪

Like my hair I’m also technically challenged so without an announcement I’ll keep the cork in the champagne.

In memory of a great song, and the man who performed it,

And something BRN will make us all do, ............................ :cool:




AKIDA ( make me smile ) BALLISTA

One of my favorites. Sad to hear that Steve Harley passed away 😢

I'm not sure I would want to walk around naked 🩲 in front of these internet connected robots, which is where AKIDA would come in handy IMO.

It says "attachment learning" but it doesn't really learn, it just "remembers" the last settings when a particular attachment is fitted (which the dryer will "know" from a tab or something on the attachment).

They are trying to make it sound "smart" when it isn't really, it's just marketing.

It has a lot of sensors, but the "brain" is nothing special.

It doesn't need something like AKIDA, for what they are doing IMO.

From 22 seconds, the Isaac Lab Sim they developed, looks more like Robot Hell! 🤣

Here, see how you go with this one GROOTs 😛

Hi DB,

Their patent application refers to a generic NN:

WO2023228008A1 HAIRCARE APPLIANCE

A haircare appliance is described that comprises a body for engaging hair in use, a sensor arrangement and a control unit. The sensor arrangement is configured to output a plurality of signals, each signal being indicative of a presence of an object at a respective region of the body. The control unit is configured to determine whether the object is hair based on temporal differences between the signals.
...
In some examples, the control unit is configured to determine whether the object is hair using a trained machine learning model. For example, the trained machine learning model may be or comprise a regression model. In some examples, the machine learning model may be a trained neural network, although other trained machine learning models may be used.

This may be analog (eg, Synsense low hanging fruit) or it could be Akida. I'm pretty sure they did not develop a NN in-house.
